Is my baby having seizures?

I have a 11 month year old baby. She clenches her fist and jerks her head few times a day. Our peadtrician advised us to go for EEG. Here is the EEG Report:
Sleep EEG with PS.

The background activity in PC and FT leads consists of mixed frequency of
theta 5 Hz [70 - 90 UV], low voltage activity, sleep spindles and delta 3
Hz [100 - 120 UV] , bilateral and symmetric.

At few times, there are post central slow waves bursts at [180 - 200 UV].

PS Non contributory.

Conclusion: EEG is mildly abnormal and finding suggest post central dysfunction


Can anyone tell me whether my baby is having seizure or other related complications?

-frist of all im not a dr. but if she has control or you can stop her I dont think its a seizure I think you need to find a center that can address if it might be a tick shes so young it hard to tell

She tightens her facial muscles and brings her clenched fist in front of the chest ... she seems to be in control when she does this... she also does this action whenever she sees certain people
