Ped referred us to an Endocronologist...

Took DD in for her 1 year visit on Saturday and as soon as Ped saw her with no shirt on..he said "does she eat a lot of chicken?" I said yes- we actually don't eat red meat in our house, just chicken & turkey- althogh DD has had other meats.
He said it's most likely from the chicken, but wants us to see an Endo...bc she does have the beginning of breasts..I thought it was just chub, since she's chubby, but he said he'd like a 2nd opinion. he said that 9 out of 10 times its the hormones in the chicken. She has no other signs at all of anything.

I try to buy organic, but it gets expensive and she eats a lot of premade chicken nuggets...I'll put a end to that.

Anyone have any experience with this?
I refuse to google and torture myself, I've already left a message with the Endo to make an appt.

Just wanted to send some hugs. I hate that the food industry puts this crap in the food supply. Organic should be the standard so everyone can afford it all the time. I hate that this happened to your dd. Good luck and the endo, let us know how it goes. Where do you buy your meat?

My daughter had that when she was a bit older, I think 15 months or so. She is very thin, so you could see a little bit sticking out under each nipple.
We don't eat a lot of chicken, but we do eat a lot of soy. The pediatrician said it was benign premature thelarche and it would go away by itself, and it did.

Good luck!!!
