I had a baby seize on me just last month. I was helping with latch in f-ball 
hold and noticed the baby repetitively and rhythmically jerking its arm; I 
watched her for about a minute or so before letting Mom know that I was taking 
her to the nursery for a minute....she cont'd the movement once in the nursery 
adding the leg on the same side. Shortly after the seizure ended she became 
limp and apneic (stopped breathing) for a brief episode, turns out she had a 
cranial bleed. What particularly impressed me was for the minute or so that I 
watched her , she remained alert and continued to try and latch to the breast!
However, we are not required to become NRP certified as LCs in our hospital 
and I don't think we need to be. Although I am the only RN/LC in my dept of 6 
with a neonatal background, I believe their nursing experience would have 
allowed my colleagues to respond in much the same way.
