Is it the so-called growing pains? Or maybe a cause for concern?

However, without seeing the baby, I am not able to fully answer your question. The most sensible thing to do is to tell your pediatrician about everything, who will assess whether your baby is developing properly, examine it and decide whether a specialist consultation is necessary.
