At what age do little girls start to develop breasts?

I know a friend whose daughter is only six years old, but there is already a small bulge on her chest. The mother is very scared and has been looking for medical treatment everywhere. The doctor said that the child's breasts have begun to develop. Everyone was surprised when they heard it. After all, the child is so young. Thinking back to when we were kids, it was at least after the age of nine or ten before there was any slight movement. Everyone thought that her child was not normal. At what age do little girls start to develop breasts? Let us find out through the following content.

Breast development in girls marks the beginning of the development of female secondary sexual characteristics and is also a signal of the onset of puberty. Under the action of sex hormones, the breasts of girls aged 9 to 11 begin to develop. First, the nipples protrude and feel like a small lump, with some swelling and pain. Later, the breasts gradually swell and the light brown areola around the nipples gradually deepens in color and increases in size. Later, the nipples become large and protruding, and the breasts become fuller. Due to the influence of genetics, environment, nutrition, physique and other factors, the age at which girls enter puberty varies greatly from person to person. Generally speaking, it is normal for breasts to enlarge between the ages of 8 and 14. If breasts have not developed after the age of 16, you should go to the hospital for examination.

Children's breast development usually begins when the nipples start to grow, around the age of 9-10 years old. At the age of 10-11, breast hyperplasia forms a breast nucleus, which feels like a nodule or a small lump and is painful when pressed. At the age of 12-13, the breast ducts and subcutaneous fat increase day by day, the breasts gradually bulge and become elastic, and the color of the areola and nipples darkens. Mature breasts are blue spherical and located between the 3rd to 6th ribs. The nipples have erectile function and become hard when touched, which is conducive to breastfeeding. Girls' breast development is related to the secretion of female hormones in the body.

At what age do little girls start to develop breasts? I believe everyone has already understood it. In modern society, people's living standards are relatively high, and various nutritional health products are flooding the market and are very popular among mothers. Most of the food we eat daily contains hormones, which further stimulates the child's production and development. It is a cause of precocious puberty in girls. Premature breast development may affect the child's development and height, so you should pay more attention to the living environment and eating habits, and adjust the body in time to avoid harming the child.
