Hi

That sounds really tough. Here is our information about epilepsy in babies. epilepsy.org.uk/info/childr...

As you can see, it is not easy to diagnose a baby with great accuracy as their brain is still developing.

I very much hope things settle down for you all. But If we can be of any more help, please feel free to contact us again, either by email at helpline@epilepsy.org.uk or the Epilepsy Action Helpline freephone 0808 800 5050.

Regards

Cherry
