Why is my toddler whining so much?

[Amy]

I have 17 month old twon girls. One of them has been so incredibly cranky lately. She whines most of the day. Nothing has changed too much in her routine. I thought maybe it was her back teeth bothering her. I give her teething rings, i tried a frozen washcloth (she didnt want it), and sometimes give her tylenol, but the whining continues. She has also been waking up several times a night when she sleeping through the night. Any suggestions? Or does anyone know why this is going on? Thanks.

This can happen with twins. She is trying to get attention over her sister. Take time to be with just her, and then just with her sister seperatly.

I would take her to be checked out by my doctor, if it were me. It's a bit worrying - but I'm sure a doctor would be able to help. (Not that I think all doctors are wonderful! - but you need to be careful with children) It could be her ears, or anything. It's been a few days, so I think it's the best thing.
