Breast bud (as in only one)

[Anonymous]

DD is almost 11 and has recently (maybe 2 months) started having one breast bud. I am sure it’s normal and the other will follow, but I was wondering if this is common. When do we start the average 2-year count to period? Now or after the other breast starts developing? She has no under arm hair and not much visible in the pubic region either. Thanks!

Pretty common. I had this my sister too. My breasts are the same size but hers are different sizes. I mean it’s average 2 years so it’s not an exact count down.

It’s also common in boys that age! Fun fact for anyone reading and worried. My son (now 17 and growing a beard) had one for months, then both, and then they both went away.

My god, you are creepy. I would have died if my parents were this meddlesome. MYOB.

You have a count down to her period?

Not a proper one obviously, but I have no memory of when puberty started for me and mom did not prepare me for it.

Our pediatrician had said at her 10 year appointment that DD had not started puberty yet. Anyway, I just want to try and make it an easier/better transition for my DD than it was for me.

I was a late bloomer and my mom would talk about it endlessly with her sisters and friends like I wasn't there.

One breast bud indicates the hormones that signal the onset of puberty are present. Obviously the 2 years is an inexact estimate, but it definitely starts from the appearance of one breast bud.

There was a girl in high school who had one C-cup and one B-cup. She grew up to be a stripper, seriously, so, don't worry this won't hold your daughter back.

Counting exactly 2 years from 1st or 2nd breast bud is just weird. Teach your child how to use a pad and what to look for and stop worrying about it. Tell her she can always go to the nurse if she’s at school and needs help. You’re making this much worse than it is.

+1 I’m so perplexed at how many parents know this level of detail about their children’s private parts.

So weird. They must inspect which is mental.

So you agree it's weird

My son has had them for years at age 14 now
