Question on Puberty
She was born in 2016, I am seeing her breast buds grow, a single strand of hair in her pubic area. Does this mean she is hitting her puberty early or having a precocious puberty, please advise. Can this be delayed now.

Hello, you will need to get her checked by a paediatric endocrinologist if you have any doubt. A complete clinical examination is needed for further advice. If it is puberty, then it can be delayed with medications.
