Hi all,
My daughter is 7 (will be 8 mid March) and has recently developed breast buds under her nipples. Was only the right at first but now as one on the left hand side too. This morning while getting ready for school she said "Urgh, mummy my armpits stink!".... so I had a wee sniff and there was a BO smell. She has a bath every night and so its not a case of poor hygiene. So I said not to worry and just gave her a wipe under her arms with a wet wipe and a spray of my deodorant.
Putting these two together I am now thinking that she is starting puberty - not noticed any pubic hair as yet.
Looking online most say to get them checked by a GP if they start developing before age 8 but as she is nearly 8, I don't want to waste their time if this is nothing to worry about????
Any advice would be appreciated!
