Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if a female reappears with secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 or a male before the age of 9, it can be considered precocious puberty. It can be divided into true and false precocious puberty. The former refers to the early appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, accompanied by the maturation of the gonads and the manifestation of sexual function, such as menstruation in females and the maturation of sperm in males. The latter does not involve gonadal maturation. It may only appear as breast development, so there is no need to be too concerned.
II. Your daughter is 2 years and 7 months old, weighing 16 kg, with a height of 94 cm. She is slightly heavier than her peers of the same age, but the ratio of height to weight is normal. Her intellectual and physical development are normal, she is strong, lively, and active—very good! The better her development, the more balanced diet and physical exercise she needs. Wishing you great luck in the Year of the Tiger!
