Precocious puberty

My DD is 6 (7 in September) and I’m sure has developed breast buds. I’m going to take her to the doctors on Tuesday. I’m worried about her and if I’m right in my suspicions, what this means for her.
Has anyone else’s children shown signs of early puberty, and are they ok?

Hi, yes my daughter did. She was 99.6% for height and had the bones of an 11 year old at the age of 8. Although we had to wait 3 months for a female doctor (daughters preference) we were quite quickly referred and checked before then getting the 6 monthly puberty blockers. She’s on the second dose now and we’ve had no side effects apart from the signs of puberty have reversed.

My daughter got breast buds at age 6 too. A doctor said she'd had a hormonal surge and that they would go away. It's exactly what happened and she got proper breast buds again age 8 (well 1 came up at 8, and the other 6 months later), and her period came just after she turned 11. She started to get very tall around 9.

My daughter turned 7 in January and she has gone past the breast budding stage. She was always so tall for her age she looks 11 now she is that tall. Also some pubic hair forming. What is worrying me is I have seen very tiny spot of what looks like bright pink in her underwear ( you would hardly see it if you weren't checking like me ) has anyone experienced this also?

It's a difficult one for you as the dr's might give her something to delay her puberty but it sound like it is well under way and by the time you went through the dr's/hospital she would be within normal age plus is it a good thing to give her hormone delaying medication.
