Do little ones get growing pains?

[JeMeSouviens]

DS, 2.5yo, woke in the night screaming and thrashing 3 times last night. It took awhile to calm him down. We thought maybe it was his dinner and he had a sore belly, but eventually he told us he had booboos on his feet and I had to kiss them for him. I can't think of anything he'd have done to hurt himself as he'd been running around all evening with no problems.

Is he too young for growing pains, or do they always have them at growth spurts?

Not too young, both DDs starting getting them from about that age (in feet mostly, but also shins/knees), and they still get them from time to time aged 12 and 10.

Massage helps, and paracetamol if really bad.

Yes my DS has had them intermittently from that age. I had them too, I remember it well!

Oh dear, poor little fella, will keep some paracetamol on hand for him.

thanks for replying.
