A member asked:

Breast buds. dad question wearing bra at 8. what can i tell him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast buds: Girls are maturing earlier now than previous generations with menstrual cycles in the 9 yr range not uncommon. Breast buds can occur at this age also. If dad is concerned, he should attend the next pediatrician visit and speak with the doctor directly.
