Early puberty?
Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2019 12:00 am
My oldest daughter just turned 10 a few weeks ago. I was vegetarian when pregnant with her and became fully plant based when she was about 1 1/2 years old, which means she did too. She's never eaten meat, and has not had any dairy or eggs since around 1 1/2 years old.
She just shared with me that she has developed pubic hair. I've noticed her breasts growing for maybe six or seven months now and she's had to wear a "training" bra and her body has been looking more curvy. But the pubic hair sent me into a panic.
I don't understand because I've always been so sure she'd be good till at least 14 because of her diet. She's also extremely fit and athletic, a junior lifeguard and competitive swimmer. She's thin and tall for her age.
Is there something wrong? I'm just really confused. Can anyone offer any educated opinion on the matter?
Thank you in advance.
