Hello--I am posting on behalf of my 9-year old daughter (with permission!). Maddie turned 9 on June 3. She is showing signs of buds/breast development. Last night she said that both breasts underneath the nipple (under the skin near her chest) hurt. On the L she felt a hard spot, she described it as a "disk under there". I felt both sides and there was a hardness under the L when I applied pressure on either side of her nipple. I am bringing her to her ped for this (she was an LLL leader and nursed her own for 6 years, I know we are in good hands there), but since I have no experience with adolescents I wanted to put this out to all of you for some helpful guidance. She so far does not show signs of pubic or underarm hair, acne, or other developmental changes. She nursed until she was just past six. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
