Breast Development (Thelarche). The first visible evidence of puberty in girls is a nickel-sized lump under one or both nipples. Breast buds, as these are called, typically occur around age nine or ten, although they may occur much earlier, or somewhat later.n a study of seventeen thousand girls, it was concluded that girls do not need to be evaluated for precocious puberty unless they are Caucasian girls showing breast development before age seven or African American girls with breast development before age six.
The age at which first sign of initiation of puberty is noticed relates with the age at which the first period sets in. Tiny breast buds are the first external sexual character noticed around 10 yrs of age. About 6 to 12 months later sparse growth of pubic hair is seen. Interval between the first period and the appearance of breast buds is usually 24 to 30 mo, but can be as long as 6 years.On the other hand, 8 - 10 percent of normal girls get their first period even before 11 years of age.
