It would be extremely difficult to do so. Epilepsy can start at any age. Unless there is some sort of family history there are not many reasons to suspect a baby will have epilepsy. It is possible, should a woman have some complications during a pregnancy like some infections, that something could happen to the baby which would result in epilepsy. However this is very rare and even then the onset of the epilepsy would be after they were born, maybe even later in childhood. If you have any concerns talk to a doctor.

Hunger doesn't cause epilepsy. Someone who has epilepsy may get a seizure if they don't look after themselves well. So it is important that they do things to keep themselves generally healthy like get enough sleep and eat well. Some people who have epilepsy might be more likely to get one if they are not well in other ways, or if they are very weak, so eating well is obviously important.

Many people with Epilepsy get married and live quite well. It is not always that a person get bouts of this disease. The affected person and most of his close relatives know when it would occur and what to do then. An epileptic getting married and living in a family is better than him living alone.

When you have a seizure, your brain is malfunctioning so you are not conscious of what is going on. It is like the fact that you do not remember being asleep. You can remember dreams when you sleep and you may remember having a dream when you have a seizure. Whether you do or not, you will usually know that you have had a seizure, in the same way that you will usually know that you have been asleep.

There are many causes of epilepsy. It will depend on what the father's cause is. It can be hereditary, but more often than not it isn't. So it is something that cannot be answered here.

Marstubation most certainly does not result to epilepsy. Masturbation, however, may result in epilepsy. Give it a try.

Flashing lights and strobe lights affect people who have a form of epilepsy known as photosensitive epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy do not have that form, so there is no problem in them watching fireworks. Even those that have photosensitive epilepsy might not have much problem, as it is usually close and intense flashing that can cause their seizures, and not watching something like fireworks at a distance.
