Dd is 5, nearly 6. This summer I noticed that she was starting to sweat with "adult" body odour from her armpits.
Tonight she asked me about a hair in her bottom, and showed me what looks like a pubic hair.
I had a look on the internet (the term I found was "precocious puberty", which talks about signs of puberty in girls before 6-8 - www.nhs.uk/conditions/puberty/pages/complications.aspx) and am going to make a doctor's appointment for her next week. She is quite tall for her age.
I wanted to ask if anyone had also experienced this with their children, and how they dealt with it? Am worried :(.
