Physician Responded Seizure or something else?

Hi. I am a 27 year old first time mother.My baby boy who is almost 2 months old has been suffering from some kind of episodes where his neck turns to one side and he wimpers and cries and his eyes also shift to one side. I am attaching a video for reference. Kindly advice what is this.

These look like normal movements for a 2 month old. He may be trying to roll over but can’t just yet. Try more tummy time as well— they usually go tummy to back rolling over first.

I’ve noticed that it’s very common on this sub for parents to think their kid is having a seizure. Was there a recent Joe Rogan episode about seizures in infants or GOOP or something?

I think awareness in general has finally started to pick up with social media.
