Hi everyone,

I'm cross posting from Mums Club July 2009.

Over the last few days my son has started randomly doing this very fast and strong panting, which comes out of knowhere, and is accompanied by little moans and his eyes rolling upwards. This only lasts about 5 seconds and at the end he smiles and/or is a little bit sick.

I'm worried these are the start of epileptic seizures, as when I was in primary school a boy in my class was epileptic and the strange serene smile would come over his face just as a seizure started and it was always followed by him being sick.

My little one was born 5 weeks early and is now 9 weeks old (or 4 if counting from his EDD).

Have any of you experienced this?

Thanks
