[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer OP's original question...

Both my SILs were opposed to sleep training. Nephew started sleeping longer (5+ hours) at 18 months and he's now an excellent sleeper at 7 years old. Niece (not same family) was such an awful sleeper. I'm sorry to say she's still waking multiple times a night at 2.5 years old. My SIL sleeps in with her. I hope you get some longer stretches soon. It will get better eventually but just impossible to say precisely when. It's so much better when they can tell you what's wrong - for example, my niece tells her mother that her legs hurt at night. So growing pains must be a part of her poor sleeping.

I did sleep training with both my kids around 6 months, but that's just my personal preference. I have no problem with people parenting differently - it doesn't make me feel insecure about my own choices  :D Both my SILs are wonderful mothers. [/quote]

Magnesium may help your niece. Calm for kids is great! Epsom salt baths before bed can help. Calcium and Vit D deficiency. Massages and stretching.

Personally tight ankles/calves run in my family so with lots of running and jumping the ankles, calves, and hips can get sore. My son has inherited it so we are working on mobility and stretching daily. Also really good shoes make a difference. Im obsessed with sandals because I hate wearing shoes but they arent usually good for walking/daily use. I limit my son to only wearing at the pool and going barefoot around the house. Flip flops are the worst but I love my rainbows. They are beach only now.  :cry:  These legs need support now. [/quote]
