They didn't take her in for observation? Did they tell you what it could be? Are they doing any follow up tests. Not to freak, but as someone who grew up with an epileptic mother fits can be dangerous and I'd want answers. If you can sleep with her so you can keep an eye on her. Did they say what to do if she fits again?
They said it could be a couple of things...
1. Sudden fever
2. Some spew could have been sitting on her larynx (SP?) and caused her to stop breathing
3 . uhh i cant rememeber the rest now! argh!
My Ds2 had silent reflux.. He had seizures when he was born though.. at 7 weeks he had more and then we started putting a thickener into him EBM and he was good. He was also on anti seizure meds till he was over 6 months..
Laura- OMG how terrifying... My DD has silent reflux... We havent had any seizures but i was warned that they can spew and it can sit on the voice box and it sticks together... causing bubs not to be able to cry when there is an issue... also the flap that opens (not sure what its called now) can catch the spew also... was told if this happens to blow small amounts of air in their mouth...
I have heard of seizures from high temps... did she have a fever... I am VERY shocked tha they didnt keep her in for obs... being so young... i would maybe see your family GP today for answers...
Does DD have silent reflux??? if so u may want to prop her up when she is laying down to keep the milk in her tummy a bit better i was also told to give them water after a feed to remove the milk from the mouth and throat area (after we had a near chocking incident... )

They should have kept her for observation and done a full septic workup to try and find out the cause of the seizures. Has she been unwell, or had fevers? The kind of sudden fever that causes a febrile convulsion is usually quite plain to see, and they usually cause one seizure, not one after the other.
I would see your GP and push for a referral to a paediatrician to investigate this futher. The kind of seizure you describe, and your daughter's age, does not sound consistent with a run-of-the-mill febrile convulsion to me.
