[quote=Anonymous]Was just reading a book about puberty (called “This Is so Awkward”) which highlighted studies finding that puberty is beginning earlier (around 8 or 9) but that the age of first menstruation for girls has not moved earlier. I thought this was interesting. My very thin daughter got her first breast bud before her 9th birthday, which seemed super early to me. But our ped was not concerned, and she started menstruation at 12, which I think is right around average. Also, the hormones that cause pubic hair are different than those that cause breast budding and menstruation I think. All this is to say I don’t think you should be overly concerned, but reach out to your ped if you have questions! [/quote]
