1. when do I know my daughter needs a bra?
Watching your daughter grow and change is a beautiful and sometimes bittersweet experience. One of the first signs that your daughter may need a bra is the development of breast buds, which typically occurs between the ages of 8 and 13. You may notice that her breasts are starting to become more pronounced, and she may express discomfort or self-consciousness, especially during physical activities. It's essential to keep an open line of communication with your daughter and observe any cues she may give about her comfort level and readiness for a bra.
