7 month old granddaughter

hello,

  my 7 mth old granddaughter is hitting puberty already ,she has started getting pubic hair,little breast ,and her doctor says there is nothing to worry about ,I dont think this is normal ,the doctor said its probably because she still has some of my daughters hormones in her system.I think she should go elsewhere and get a second oppinion .does anyone have any ideas for me on what could be causing this or if im overreacting here .thank you
Answer #1

I would get a second opinion - a mother’s hormones usually leave leave the child after a couple of months. If this is just now happening, it’s something else.

Does your daughter breastfeed?

Answer #2

I KNOW IF MY BABY WOULD HAVE THAT I WOULD DEF. TAKE HER FOR A SECOND AND THIRD OPINION.

Answer #3

Take her to a better doctor!!!they say it’s ok when they don’t know whats wrong.

Answer #4

Oh my goodness, I think you should go somewhere else!!! Make sure she gets checked out really good, that dosnt sound to good.

Answer #5

get a second opinion! that sounds kinda unnatural to me. but ask for the second opinion and find out what they think first. tell them that you think its kinda unnatural and see what they think. xoxoTina

Answer #6

Yes, take her to another doctor. When hormones are left in a babies bodies - it’s present right after birth and for the first couple of months, it doesn’t just spring up 7 months later. That is something that needs to be checked out. Good luck.

Answer #7

no she doesnt breastfeed and thats what I thought that the hormones leave the body within a couple mths ..thank you for your reply ..am trying to get some input so I can get my daughter to take her elsewhere ,

Answer #8

This sounds like something called “premature adrenarche”, which is (as your doctor said) a hormone surge.

Your doctor should probably run some blood tests just to be sure, but if he’s right, then you really don’t have anything to worry about - the condition is not generally dangerous and doesn’t require any treatment.
