A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
