POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. At 10.5 years old, it’s normal for your daughter to start losing baby teeth and showing early signs of puberty. Menarche (first period) typically occurs between 10 and 14 years, with the average around 12 to 13 years. Some girls may get it earlier, especially if there's a family history of early puberty.
Signs that menarche may be approaching: Breast development (usually 1.5–2 years before periods) Growth spurt Hair under arms or pubic region Vaginal discharge If you're concerned about early menarche or want to naturally support a healthy timeline, here are a few gentle strategies: ✅ What You Can Do: Limit processed and high-fat foods – especially junk food and sugary snacks, which may trigger early puberty. Encourage physical activity – Regular outdoor play, yoga, or sports helps maintain a healthy weight and can delay early puberty. Avoid hormone-rich foods – Reduce intake of meat or dairy with artificial hormones (prefer organic when possible). Minimize screen time and stress – Excess screen exposure and emotional stress are linked to early hormonal changes. Ensure proper sleep – At least 9–10 hours daily helps in regulating natural hormonal rhythms.
There’s no guaranteed way to "delay" puberty, as it's largely genetically determined, but healthy lifestyle choices can support a natural pace. If she shows signs of very early puberty (before age 8) or you’re seriously concerned, a pediatric endocrinologist can assess hormone levels and growth pattern.
