My daughter who is 7 next week said her nipples were sore and sure enough there are little hard lumps behind her nipples. I am so upset by this, she has only just lost her first front tooth, this seems so early for her body to be changing. Over the last year I have had to wash her hair more often and make sure her underarms are washed well. Puberty started pretty early for me and I remember my breasts budding when I was 8 and a half, my periods started when I was 10. Has anyone had any experience of early puberty like this. I am pretty sure it can't be classed as precocious puberty can it?
