\n\t\t\tSeizures – Infantile Spasms\t<\/h1>\n\t

\"\"If your baby is having sudden – repeated movements, a head bob, a body crunch, a moment of stiffening – it’s natural to feel scared, and you’re not alone. These episodes, called infantile spasms, are a form of epilepsy that usually begins between 2 and 12 months of age. They can be easy to miss at first, sometimes looking like just a startle or a brief stare, but they tend to happen in clusters, often right after waking. The most important thing to know: acting quickly matters. Reaching out to your pediatrician right away and getting an early diagnosis gives your child the best chance at a good outcome.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
