[quote=Anonymous]Breast and uterine development is driven by estrogen, and the process is called "thelarche." Body odor and body hair development is driven by androgens, and the process is called "adrenarche." It is true that usually adrenarche preceeds thelarche by about a year, but that's a rough estimate. Often when things happen atypically, everything is fine, but it is worth having anything atypical checked out by a pediatrician. There can be problems, but they are rare -- nonetheless, they do happen, and sorting that out is beyond the scope of an internet post. This is worth talking to her pediatrician's office about. Barring any other symptoms, it can wait until Tuesday. (I am a board-certified pediatrician.)[/quote]
