Hi Doctor,
My 2 months old daughter suddenly stiffen her body, Open her arms wide, full red face which looks scary and screams and cry.
It last for some 3-4 seconds.. once I hold her she becomes normal after little crying.
This happened for the second time today from last 2 weeks.
Last time it happened during the night. I was playing with her and this happened suddenly.
We get scared by seeing this. This doesn't look like normal Moro reflex.
What might be the reason..?
Is this serious ?
Is it some seizures?

Usually seizures in small infants do not look like the way adults present, instead in infants seizures means just stiffening of body, lip smacking, starring of eyes, boxing like movements.
Next Steps
next time try to take the video of that incident and show near by pediatrician
