Dr. Keim and Dr. Rosati discuss febrile seizures, developmental delays, epilepsy, infantile spasms, and anything neurological that can affect babies and toddlers.

Dr. Rosati says that children not meeting a developmental milestone is often why parents bring them in to see him.

He tells Dr. Keim what red flags parents can look out for in terms of neurological conditions. He and Dr. Keim discuss febrile seizures and genetic epilepsy syndromes, as well as when seizure medications might be useful. Dr. Rosati breaks down childhood migraines, how parents can help and identify them, and exactly what neurological disorders entail.
