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?
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. 😊
😅 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.
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 🤣
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.
I was wearing a bra in 4th grade. I was starting to get made fun of for having boobs.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’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.
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?
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 😩
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.
Just a under shirt should be fine she won’t have boobs for 5 years or longer lol
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.
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.

I realized I needed a bra at 5th grade.
If I didn’t say anything who knows when I would’ve gotten one. I definitely had breast already.
I know I might be freaking out but I just don’t want to fuck up ...
