Does growing pain occur in infants?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been curious about a question. Generally, children aged 3-12 may experience growing pains again, and the pain usually occurs in the afternoon or evening. So, you ask, do infants have growing pains?

Doctor's answer:

The growth pain often mentioned by people refers to pain in the front of the child's calf or around the knee joint. If these areas have normal movement and there is no history of trauma, and there is no redness, swelling, or tenderness locally, after a careful examination, if the child does not suffer from any other diseases, it can be believed to be growth pain. Growth pain usually occurs again in children between the ages of 3-5 or 8-12, so infants do not have growth pain.
