Oh, Fait, so sorry to hear about your baby girl.
You need to get the best medical care as quickly as possible, as these are severe seizures your daughter is having. We were in Asia when our son started having seizures, and finally got on a plane and took him to Bangkok where there's an excellent international hospital. Now we live in Bangkok.
She needs to be on a medication all the time for the seizures, not just when she's having them.
And yes, babies can start the Ketogenic diet. In Dubai, it's my understanding that the City Hospital (Dubai Healthcare City) will administer the Ketogenic diet for children with seizures, but it's done through their Dietetics department, not the neurology (that's how they do it here in Bangkok too). If you're in Dubai, their number is (971) 4 435 9999 and email is info@thecityhospital.com
Hope this helps, and my prayers are with your little baby.
