It sounds like your baby is having simple partial seizures with Jacksonian march. My son has this sort..his always start in his arm, but then it moves down that side of his body till the entire left side is convulsing.
You may want to look into treating him for mercury poisoning. Immunizations are within a base of something that contains mercury and oftentimes can start seizure activity because of this. Seems some people are very sensitive to mercury, while others aren't. I would definitely check into this before attempting epilepsy meds.

I dont believe in drugs for babies, but sometimes it is safer for them. Is is from the shot? Or could be low on blood surgar level, sodium, b vit, magnesium, calcium, vit d, and iron.Hope that helpshttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/Lisa
