Girls typically begin developing breasts between the ages of 8 and 13. However, it's normal for some girls to start as early as 7 years old or as late as 13 years old.
Important factors to consider:
- Race: African American girls may start breast development earlier than Caucasian girls.
- Genetics: A girl's family history can influence when she starts puberty, including breast development.
- Individual variations: Puberty is a natural process, and every girl develops at her own pace.
If you're concerned about a girl's development, it's always best to speak with a doctor. They can help determine if development is within the normal range.
