Dd had a friend sleep over last night. She's just turned 7. She made a big deal of showing dd how she was wearing a bra (bra shaped crop top) and how she's more grown-up than dd because she has her nails painted, she wears deodorant (bought it in her wash bag) and put moisturiser on this morning! Thankfully dd looked as bemused as me but AIBU to think this is all way before it's time at 7? She isn't smelly or developing btw, she's tiny and looks much younger than she is.

I don't think it a weight issue?

I think the assumption is its related to puberty. There are supposed to be pheromones in fresh sweat that are attractive to opposite sex.

In girls being overweight can lead to earlier onset but it's not only thing - odd one being not having dad round (healthland.time.com/2010/09/17/another-cause-of-early-puberty-in-girls-absent-dads/ ) other's being genetic.

As a whole though puberty is supposed to be getting earlier and earlier.
