My DD was diagnosed at quite a young age when jerking like movements were noticed when she was only days old! Lots of tests were ran and we were told it was Neonatal Benign Myoclonus.

The good news is that it doesn't do any harm to the developing brain having these seizure like patterns. The bad is you can't really control seizure like activity (we tried everything from my diet as I was ebm feeding to the doctors trying epileptic medication to relax her muscles during sleeps with little to no relief).

It does go away in time. Try to hang in there hun. It's scary to watch sometimes and can disrupt the sleep cycle quite a bit. Like I said though, nothing can really be done, it's just something they have to grow out of. My DD had symptoms of it whilst she was in the nicu (she was extremely prem) until the age of about 11 months. The jolting just stopped one night. It was like a switch just flicked in her brain.

I am going to pm you a link with some information that helped me during DDs diagnosis too. Hugs love you are a brilliant mummy, hang in there! X
