    Do you know his history?
    Was he a head trauma baby?
    Try rubbing a little molasses on his gums when he
    goes into a seizure.
    Their blood sugar levels drop, and this helps them to come
    around.
    When you say milk, do you mean formula?
    Not too many nuts, and NO sunflower seeds.
    Also go really light on the fruits as well.

    I will get the link to the healthy diet and post it in a minute.

    Here's the link to the healthy diet.
    They can eat groups 1 and 2 freely, and group 3 limited.
    He also needs a good quality squirrel block.
    Most of us use Henry's blocks. I get the one for picky eaters,
    and mine love them. You offer 2 daily along with the healthy veggies.
