Just for more information, I discovered this when researching epilepsy for my 16 y/o.. Vitamin B-6 Dependent, causes seizures in newborns and infants, I know it seems way out but it is a medical condition....Look it up.
hello,
my son is now 3 and 1/2 mo and has been diagnosed with calcium deposits on his brain. the dr said it was due to a stroke because of lack of oxygen in utero because the cord was around his neck. i havent noticed and siezures yet but he goes to a neurologist next tues. i cannot find any information on babies with this. i was wondering how your baby is doing and if you have found any information. i was told he was going to be a challenging baby with special needs but thats it so far. i really want to know someones point of view who has been there. please let me know. thank you so much we are worried sick.

My Grandaughter who is 7months old has similar symotoms and has just been diagnosed with West Syndrome. This is a rare form of epilepsy and is more rare in girls than boys. I hope this helps.
Take Care.

I can't help with the calcium deposits, but my little girl has had seizures since birth too. It is so frightening, and I know how alone you must be feeling. It's not unusual to have break through seizures, it can sometimes take a while for them to find the correct meds. I think you have other issues to look into too, did they not give you any indication of what they thought was the cause of the small head circumference? Did she pick her head up before the last seizures? And was she active before? There are meds out there for you to use at home to control the seizures, which you need to get some advise about, and above all, don't stop doing all the normal things you would do with her. Stimulate her, play with her, and keep speaking to people. Even if you can't get all the answers you need, it helps to speak to people in the same situation, even if it just gets it off your chest.
Take care
