Seizures or am I Overthinking it??

[DisneVillainsAreBetter]

A little reluctant to contact a doctor and be told I’m overthinking and wasting their time.

DD contact naps as it’s the only way she sleeps and most of the nap she’s latched as she BFs to sleep, again as it’s the only way she’ll sleep. Sometimes during the nap she will forcefully jerk several times randomly during the 2-3 hours. It probably happens only 1/10 naps, but when it does happen it lots of times during the nap.

when she sleeps in her cot she doesn’t do this at all. She doesn’t do it at all when awake. Or if she sleeps anywhere else such as the car also nothing. We have a camera looking over her cot and I’ve watched her many times and she’s still unless she’s rolling over and repositioning herself.

it makes me worry about seizures but also I wonder I’m overthinking it as she clearly overheats when she’s latched on as she’s really sweaty when she wakes up, and she’s probably not that comfortable either. My instinct tells me she’s too hot and laying in an odd position and also probably not in a deep sleep as she’s latched on but I also don’t want to ignore it if it’s something

any experience? Any children similar?

She is 13 months.

If you hold her still does she stop doing it and start to wake or does it carry on against your hands?

I'd suggest having your phone handy during naps and filming it next time it happens, then showing it to your Dr. We had a couple of seizure scares with dd1 where I thought she was having infantile spasms, and we showed up at a and e with a video. We were taken seriously and everything was checked out. Turned out to be nothing at all but was very reassuring and I learnt there that if you can stop them doing it by hand then it's voluntary and not a seizure.

Fwiw what you've described doesn't sound like a seizure - more likely gas! - but doesn't hurt to be safe.
