No noticeable breast development as yet. However, she is only 1.18m tall and v petite. She also has milk egg amd but allergies so has had a diet of mostly chicken or meat for protein.

My dd developed public hair at 10 and at 11 still hasn’t started periods. You could go back if you’re worried, but I wouldn’t say that’s particularly unusual.
