Three week old yawning A LOT (epilepsy??)

[DishSoap]

Hi all, my three week old baby has been yawning what I'd call excessively for the last week or so and I'm worried it could be an indication of something like epilepsy or asthma-- she was in the NICU shortly after birth being monitored for seizures but nothing came of it after observations. By excessively I mean upwards of ten times an hour. She's a bit sniffly at the moment so it might just be a cold, but I'm worried given her history and given that she's my only child. Does anyone have experience of getting this sorted out? Thanks

It's extremely rare for yawning to be a feature of epilepsy. Most nasty epilepsies that appear in childhood have other features such as generalised convulsions severe spasms, or problems with development / feeding.

It's never wrong to have a small baby reviews by a HV/GP if you're worried, and if the events are frequent get some videos which can be sent to an epilepsy specialist if there are features of concern.
