Puberty: If your child is starting to have breast buds, you need to get her checked by your doctor. Your doctor probably will examine your child to make sure t is breast tissue and not fat tissue. your doctor also check for pubic hair and axillary hair. If there is, he/she will order blood tests to confirm precocious puberty or not.

If Prominent Nipples: only, no discharge, not to worry. This is one common questions we hear in the office. Transient, isolated, asymmetric development of breast glandular tissue may be seen at 2 yr. age and resolves by 3-5 yrs. called premature Thelarche. As long as no other signs of puberty, e.g pubic or axillary hair growth, adult body odor, etc. not to worry. Talk to her pediatrician in next visit if too concerned

Nipples: Nipples are OK. If this is breast tissue, it is early and should be reviewed with her doctor. All the best.
