Yes! The sanctimommies preach this continually, lol

Agree'd.

What the hell is this egregious misuse of an apostrophe? You are clearly too dumb for me to take anything you say seriously.

Could be a urinary tract infection. My DD got one at 9, she completely freaked out thinking it was her period. It wasn't. She wasn't developed whatsoever. Got it at almost 14.

Could you please provide some reputable scientific evidence for these assertions?

I know this is an old thread. My ped told me this. DD is 4 and has very slight pubic hair already. She said that the growth hormones that we eat in all dairy products are mainly to blame. We switched to almond milk only as far as milk goes and organic for all other dairy. Im trying to hold off everything else as long as possible.

You need a new pediatrician. Armpit hair (along with pubic) is controlled by the adrenal gland and can begin years before puberty starts.

Breast buds are a sign of puberty, not armpit/pubic hair.

Scary your pediatrician doesn't know that.

This is also a misguided pediatrician. You should really find a new one.
