Early puberty

My 6 year old daughter seems to be developing breasts and also has body odour in her armpits occasionally. She is tall and pretty solid and has a very healthy appetite but I wouldn’t say she’s overweight. She’s also very active. I’m wondering whether it could be a weight issue or early puberty. Any advice or suggestions from anyone who has dealt with this would be so appreciated 😊

My daughter started too at that age too. My daughter is now nearly 11 and she’s still the same. My daughter is also tall and solid too. I wouldn’t worry but of course if you feel you need too speak to a health care advisor then do so ☺️

That’s very reassuring, thanks so much!!

My lil girl turned 7 on Saturday and also has armpit odour and developing breasts. She also has a very healthy appetite but is definitely not overweight , I have just put it down to early puberty x

My daughter has been wearing roll on since she was 5 shes almost 7 now.. we buy her an organic gummy bear one on amazon smells lovely

My 6.5 year old had a breast bud come up last year but it’s gone again now. We got her checked by the gp and they referred to the hospital but that got lost apparently and only came round like last week 🤦‍♀️

Thanks everyone. Reassuring to hear it’s quite common!

I read that as soon as they start developing breasts then it’s like 2/3 years after they start their period? As I said above my daughter started smelling and developing breasts at around 6 and she still hasn’t had her period.

@Jessie I don't know how true that is ,my eldest started developing breasts at 9 and is now 13 and hasn't had her period x
