Pubic hair - 10 year old?

No breasts yet. She needs deodorant. I have had her on organic dairy, meat, chicken, eggs, vegetables, etc.

What is the average age for this and is this normal?

I don't even remember when I got this!

Thanks in advance.

You didn't move her onto a strictly organic diet because of the pubic hair, did you?

Completely normal. My 10yr olds the same but her boobs started growing first. Maybe take her to get some training bras as boobs will soon appear and also maybe get some pantiliners in ready incase she starts getting discharge as they can start that long before their periods start

We ate all organic and my dds started their periods at 10 and 11.

Has their been any actual scientific research on this? I would be interested to read it.

I actually find the opposite true. My eldest developed breasts and had menarche late due to organics. Organics aren't lab food.

As proven by....?

Uh, I think PP was just saying that she believes her daughter started late due to organics. I don't think she claimed to have scientific data to back that up.

That has been my experience as well. I ate a ton of processed food as a child. I was at least a C cup by 6th grade. I started my period when I was 10. I NEEDED to start shaving my legs when I was in 3rd grade, but didn't until 5th. My hormones were out of control. My kids have been raised on organic food. My oldest dd is 14 and barely needs a bra. She started her period less than a year ago. She only started shaving her legs when everyone else was doing it. She really didn't need to that bad. HEr hormones are pretty even keeled. My 12 y.o. dd is following the exact same path as her sister. Again, this isn't "proven" scientific data. Just my own experience and observation.

Do you think they just take after your DH's side of the family, and not yours?

I don't think you understand the words you are using.
