I'm scared he's having a seizure. He has an appointment on Tuesday but I'm not sure if I should take him to the ER it really scared me. He's done it once every couple of weeks but then today he did it 4 times! 3 times were during 1 feed.

Here's a video: https://www.kapwing.com/videos/66231b964a37f8e0e99bc601

Yes! My daughter has done this EXACT thing 4 or so times and it scared me so much! I tried to catch it on video but never have my phone close enough.

I cannot see your video so it’s very possible this is *not* what’s going on with your LO, but I was researching my own baby’s odd movements a few months back and came across this article about infantile spasms:

They are a treatable but very serious form of epilepsy that are sometimes mistaken as startle reflex but that usually occur in clusters. Figured I’d share just in case, and maybe it could help anyone searching this forum in the future, too.
