I am not sure that my 9 month old baby has epilepsy. My wife is epileptic but is free of seizures for the last couple of years (400 mg of carpamezipine daily).
Yesterday when we were giving our baby a bath my wife was soaping her vagina when suddenly she developed something like a seizure (hiccup like sounds and general loss of strength and a faraway look)
i am not sure whether this is actually epileptic, but this has got us very very worried.
Could anyone with infants plz advice on this...
