You notice that your child has outgrown certain items of clothing, indicating that growth has taken place. The pain felt in the limbs, especially at night, are indicative of the process of growth that is taking place.

Typical toddler growth spurts can be rather painful and cause the toddler a certain amount of discomfort.
