Is this reflux related or seizure?

it didn’t look like anything out of the norm that you might see while feeding a baby to me.

it looks like it refluxed back up.. because if you watch his face after the first spoonful it kind of got serious.. then he shivered..

I personally don’t. There are lots of different types of seizures though, and they all present differently. But it looks like is aware and alert the whole time, which doesn’t typically happen during even more minor seizures, or absence seizures. BUT, if you’re worried, take a good stretch of footage and show it to your pediatrician. If s/he’s worried, then they can refer you for an EEG (which is a test to look for seizure activity). The truth is, no one on this site can really tell you either way. There have been many moms who had docs who suggested EEG just to be sure, and then they said maybe it’s reflux related Sandifer’s. BUT, there have also been moms on here who thought that their children had Sandifer’s, and to the more untrained eye, we thought that it was nothing, and it was seizures. In your son’s case, it doesn’t look like a seizure to me, but really best to hear it from a professional. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.

An EEG doesn’t necessarily give peace of mind. It only means that a seizure wasn’t caught on the EEG,not that seizures aren’t happening. If your son is only having those episodes with feeding, that would make it seem less likely to be seizures to begin with, but even so, you wouldn’t catch it during an EEG b/c you wouldn’t be feeding him. Most EEGs are done asleep. Also, for young babies and children they have to sedate them for the EEG- just something to think about. Good luck.
