So when do you start your daughters in bras?
Mines is 4 right now and I don’t want to start her late and her breast start to drop.
I think if my mom put me in bra earlier that I would’ve had a better breast shape or something . I just felt my breast could’ve been supported better to get a better structure.
She has little buds but she is 4 and she isn’t chunky so I’m not sure yet. Advice?
I think it depends on the puberty hit. I definitely wouldn't make a 4 yr old though lol. Id say start around 8-10 training bras.
Breast shape and structure is largely based on genetics and body type. No need to put a young child in a bra or even worry about her future breast shape.
Just a under shirt should be fine she won’t have boobs for 5 years or longer lol
Tank tops for step daughter in preschool to 1st but in 2nd you could see here chest through more shirts so I bought thin sports bras that we wore.
I developed extremely late (didn’t get my period till 15 or boobs till like 16) so I started wearing bras at like 11 when I didn’t have to, it did not help my boobs at all lol.
Ctfu I would love for my daughters to hit puberty later In life.
My mother got hers at 16 but I did at 11 I wouldn’t want that for my girls ....
How did you grow up and do you have sisters and brothers when did they hit puberty?
@jaixi, I have two sisters and they all hit puberty early. I was taking growth hormones so everything got delayed, the only thing was that I was jealous everyone else had their periods so I would lie and say I had mine too 😩
I’d definitely say it depends on the child. Some kids develop faster then other. I wouldn’t think a 4 year old needs one for support, however you could always get the little cotton sports bras. My daughter is 7 and has been wearing them since 5 but only because of dance. She still wears T-shirt’s also even though she has started to sprout a little.
What about a tank top under her shirt? I mean 4 is very young to be thinking about bras. Shit I hate wearing one but I have to hold off as long as possible. She has the rest of her life to wear a bra lol.
She always wear tanks . So I guess I’ll just stick with that from all the comments. My mom just really didn’t teach me alot and I figured a lot out for my self and I don’t want that for my girls . I need to have answers and procedures for them to follow until they can make their own decisions about their body.
I didnt start developing boobs until maybe 9 or 10 yrs old but my mom had me in sports bras when I was around 7 & it didnt really help the shape of my boobs or anything lol. By 12 I was one of the only girls with bigger boobs & they definitely started to hang so I dont think starting them early is going to do anything.
I got my period at 11 so I started wearing a bra around then. Luckily my boobs never got big throughout adolescence so it didn’t effect me much.
My oldest didn’t need a bra until 7th grade, but in 6th grade they had to start dressing out for PE, so she wore sports bras and my 11 year old definitely doesn’t need a bra, but she wore sports bras when she had PE last semester.
Definitely not a 4 year old. I started wearing bras in 4th grade but I actually had boobs. My 8 year old wears a little training bra but only because she wants to. She definitely doesn’t need one.
I started wearing a real bra at about 10. I personally wouldn’t put her in a bra right now, boob “shape” is a cosmetic thing and everyone’s are shaped different.
Not like a perfect shape but I want her to have have support while she starting and not when when they already have weight
@jaixi, I’d look into camis or a sport bra then. But you also don’t want to make her uncomfortable.
@littleonemorning, of course not but she’s been wearing tanks forever . Plus she would be excited to wear a bra . My daughter is very open spirit and just likes explanations.
So if she needed to wear one she would just understand hats what she needs to do as a girls child but it seems I’m just freaking out . So I’ll just stick to the tanks.
I was wearing a bra in 4th grade. I was starting to get made fun of for having boobs.
I wasn't wearing a training bra til around 11 or 12 ish. Got my first period at 13
Same age as me but I got my period at 11 summer before 6 grade. Noticed my boobs at 10 and immediately was uncomfortable even though I wore undershirts everyday.
Personally wouldn’t have my 4 year old in a bra. I wouldn’t even be thinking about it at that age. I say a sports bra closer to middle school
@jaixi, well it sounds like you already have her best interest so I wouldn’t worry about messing up. 😊
@iuiblessing2018, 😅 thanks. But this is exactly why I didn’t want girls. I feel like I’m still figuring out the best things for my body and now I have to decide what’s best for them. I was raise ignorant.
@jaixi, I’m a pitiful A cup so I’m not much of a help in the bra department but I say if she says anything about feeling uncomfortable for having breast that would be the time to think about it.
I can’t imagine having to explain all things women to my little girl either. Lord help us all 🤣
