DD wants a bra?

[janethefirst]

DD is 11 and lots of her friends wear bras. Unfortunately, she feels a little left out as she is rather flat chested and her friends are starting to grow and I think she gets teased a little bit about it.

I measured her at home and it turns out she's between a 26 and 28 AAA so there's really no point. She's so petite and she doesn't have much to support. If she buys a bra, she said some of her friends will say that she doesn't need one and will tease her about "trying to support what isn't there" but if she doesn't, they all compare bras and talk about there favourite brands so she feels left out.

Her big sister is more like my sister and has average size boobs compared to her friends so wears whatever is available but can not offer much support to her younger sister as she has never been in the same situation as her.

What can I do? On the one hand, I could buy her some bras. But then her friends would tease her, or I can leave it and she will feel left out. I know they are only joking and it's a little banter but I do think she gets a bit insecure. I have a fairly small bust and cup size myself and when I was her age, none of my close friends wore bras.

I thought about maybe getting them before she starts secondary school in September but I really have no clue how to make her feel included with the other girls and maturing when she hasn't started yet.

Yes, when you measure the undees bust the tape measure needs to be pulled tight. Overbust she should be bent over like this.

Is she starting to develop at all? My dd was very tender at that age so liked these ones from matalan as they were very slightly moulded so they didn't show nipple in the cold and, more importantly to her, helped prevent discomfort when climbing about and catching balls.

Thanks balletgirlmum I measured again but she still seems to small for a A or maybe even petite for a AA.

And yes OddBoots she has very slight buds she usually wears a vest when it's cold.

This is exactly what I've been worrying about with my dd. she feels left out as well, but has told me that one of her close friends always makes snide remarks...she says It's like she's not part of a club, and she can't even join until she gets boobs (which may be some time...)
She wears crop tops and cotton bra style things, but it's jot having boobs is it? I've told her that they will come but she gets quite upset sometimes. Any help Atall out there???
