Question 1

why do some of my daughter's breast buds appear swollen?

Accepted Answer

Buds: Some?  There should be only two, one behind each nipple area and the swollen look is normal for the early development phase.  You can google tanner stages and see images typical of the stages so you know what to expect.

Question 2

when will my daughter need a bra? she has breast buds and they show through  her girly shirts... 
and she has underarm hair when to shave?

Accepted Answer

Trainer: Get her a trainer or "sport" bra to protect her dignity.  Be sure it fits appropriately.

Question 3

10.5 year old daughter complains of pain in left nipple area.  she found a pea sized hard lump. other breast normal. breast buds?  please advise!

Accepted Answer

Thelarche: Thelarche is the onset of secondary breast development, usually occurring at the beginning of puberty in girls. Thelarche is usually noticed as a firm, tender lump directly under the center of the nipple (papilla and areola). Thelarche is also referred to as a &quot;breast bud&quot;, or your doctor may refer to tanner stage 2.

Question 4

ok so my  12 year old daughter is always tired and mopey. how much sleep should she get?  or is this just puberty. (has breast buds and discharge )

Accepted Answer

Need to be checked: 12 years old always tired needs to be evaluated by her pediatrician.She needs at least 7 hours of good sleep.But she needs a physical exam and may need blood test to rule out anemia and other causes of tiredness ib 12 years old.Puberty is a normal ohysiological process and  it does not and should not caue tiredness all the time.

Question 5

my daughter is typing, i am 13 yrs old and i have basically no puberty. i do have pubic hairs, which ive had for over a year but nothing else. i dont know if i have breast buds but my nipples seem raises, is that what it is??? ? and when will i star?

Accepted Answer

: People develop at different rates but it there is concern for delayed puberty I recommend that your daughter be evaluated  by a gyn or a reproductive endocrinologist to make sure there isn't something serious going on or that would require intervention.

Question 6

my daughter is 12 she has pubic hair in her private area no underarm hair no discharge but she has had breast buds for a really long time?

Accepted Answer

Your question is?: I assume your question has to do with when to expect menses, as this is the most common one i get. Most girls will start 2-2.5 years after breast buds. A little light discharge in the months  before starting is common.

Question 7

my daughter has be really moody, she 10, and she has developed pubic hair, breast buds, what too do? do b/c pills / hormonal pills, talk to who idk

Accepted Answer

Adolescent Medicine: or her regular Pediatrician, behavior is typical,  just bear with her, listen to her and more importantly be her friend, she will be fine

Question 8

my daughter is 12. she has no discharge yet and no under arm hair. she has pubic hair in her private area and she has had breast buds for a long time. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry: Be patient, you're likely to see more physical changes over the next 6-12 months.

Question 9

hello my daughter is 50 days old my breast milk is not enough for her please tell me about best powder milk for her?

Accepted Answer

? growing?: Many confuse the willingness of a baby to feed more with their need to. A baby that is growing well, wetting diapers every 4-6 hours on breast milk  alone generally does not need a  supplement.The pleasure centers of the brain are stimulated by any mouthing/sucking of a baby and they will 24/7. Feeding as they wake, not when tired helps. If they are losing weight, any balanced supplement may work.

Question 10

my daughter's breasts hurts all the time since b4 her period. her period already ended about a week ago. is there something i should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Not unusual with girls just starting with their menstrual cycle ( assuming there is no redness or discharge). I usually recommend Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin &amp; warm compresses.
