I have a daughter born at 33wks, now home, gaining weight and doing well. i noticed when she's falling asleep in my arms or when drinking a bottle she sometimes blinks several times. no other movements. my ped is not concerned; i worry about seizures?

It is hard to take a 33weeker home after the challenges you experienced. Most parents are not "normal" with things until the kid is at least a year old if not two. That said I don't find the events you describe worrisome. That is not a pattern I accept as a seizure equivalent in young infants.
