As you mentioned, your baby born with respiratory arrest could have oxygen deficiency at birth that may affect his brain capacity. What you elaborated further, things are favoring the diagnosis of seizures. If such a patient would come to my OPD, I need further information as:
-Development milestones like neck holding, crawling, sitting, walking occurred at which age -Description of the seizure -Any hospitalization at birth -What investigations had performed like MRI brain, EEG?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
