Specializes in Family Medicine

See a physician: Partial seizures would be difficult to diagnose watching your child sleep, because there are lots of conditions that can cause similar symptoms--even normal sleep patterns. Please see your physician or a neurologist if you are concerned so you can have some peace of mind. Good luck to you!

Seizures: You should take her to the doctor to get diagnosed. An eeg might be ordered.
