I was just helping dd get ready for bed and putting her some barrier cream on (she still has a nappy at night time) and noticed she's developed a considerable amount of public hair. She's always had quite a lot of very fine downy hair on her body, but this is much thicker and is definitely different from the hair she has anywhere else.
I know that they all develop at different times and different rates, and I started my periods early (I was 9) so it would be no surprise if dd was an early starter too, but dd is only just 6 and this seems ridiculously early - is this within the normal range or is it something to be worried about?
I have to admit that I feel a bit strange and quite sad about it; she just seems so young and I wasn't expecting this just yet.
