[quote=Anonymous]We're going through this now. Noticed breast buds on DD the week of her 8th birthday. Growth rate also seems to be speeding up slightly, which is another sign of early puberty. Pediatrician ordered a bone age test (just a quick hand x-ray) to see if it's really early puberty. Will follow up with a thyroid test and hormone panel if her bone age is too advanced. Not that we would do Lupron, but so we can treat thyroid or other hormonal issues if that's the cause. It's important to note that the normal range is considered 8-13 now, but the norm for caucasian girls (if OP's daughter is caucasian) is 9 3/4, so early 8s is still significantly early for that demographic.
