I had never heard of them connected to growth spurts, but there you go! avivoca on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

She's eating a ton, throwing tantrums all over the place, and having night terrors, which usually coincides with a growth spurt for her. Mama Bird on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

I don't notice any obvious growth until later, when I realize he's started reaching something he was too short for earlier. My Only Sunshine on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

Eating a ton. Like putting away more than my husband, when usually she eats something like half a string cheese and four apple slices for lunch. And a behavior regression - crying, tantrums, etc. I'm not positive that was connected but it seemed to ease up around the time she went back to eating normally and I had to buy her new pants. brownepiano on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

He starts eating all his foot without complaining. He also tends to have a potty training regression. And then all of a sudden all his pants are too short. lamariniere on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

His growth has became more steady and gradual. I've noticed smaller growth spurts in the summer, where he'll grow an inch or two, but nothing crazy like when he was an infant. His feet grow very slowly. He's still wearing the same shoe size as a year ago. My daughter just turned 3 and her growth has been steady. She's grown relatively more inches between 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 than my son did, but again, it seems gradual with no noticeable spurts. Her feet grow much faster than her brother's though. She's gone up 3 sizes in the last year. Dahlia on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

That's quite the spurt. @Tanjowen: Holy mackerel! I kind of wish DD's feet would grow...they're so tiny it's hard to find shoes that fit. @newlypregnantlady: Yeah, that's what we're looking at here. It seems like ever 10 minutes she's hungry again, and she's cranky! newlypregnantlady on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

Today she asked for a meal basically every hour. I can't even believe how much she's packing away these days! I'm kind of hoping her feet grow because her winter boots are a little too big but the next size down is too small. Tanjowen on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

It's usually noticeable because he sleeps more (I have to wake him up from naps!) and eats all the time. This past one, he went from a size 6 to a size 9 shoe.

The only reason I really noticed he had grown was that his shorts were shorter. Haha. Dahlia on "Do toddlers have growth spurts?

How could you tell?
