Hello. Dear mother. It should be kept in mind "always give only and only healthy foods to your baby". Keep unhealthy food and drinks away from him/her please. Your baby is in his growing age he need milk,cereals,juicies,fruits,meat and other healthy products to eat not that bad colored and flavoured drinks that you can't even like to mention in your query...yes unhealthy and not nutritious foods causes seizures. Nutritional defeciencies causes many many problems. Kindly try to be choosy about healthy foods next time. Thank you. Take care.
