#asktheexperts does walking causes pain in toddlers during sleep, which makes them cry

A. Walking itself usually doesn’t cause pain in toddlers during sleep. However, toddlers who are just learning to walk might feel muscle soreness or tiredness, which can sometimes make them a bit restless or uncomfortable at night. If your toddler cries during sleep, it could also be due to growing pains, teething, or other discomforts like hunger or needing comfort. If the crying is frequent, intense, or your child shows signs of limping or pain during the day, it’s best to consult a pediatrician to rule out any other causes.
