The small breast tissue you noticed might be an early stage of breast development, known as thelarche, which is a common first sign of puberty.
While it may not be cause for immediate concern, it is a good idea to consult with a pediatrician first. They can assess whether the development is within the normal range for her age or if it indicates precocious puberty (early onset of puberty). If the pediatrician feels it's necessary, they may refer you to an endocrinologist for further evaluation.
As for growth, early puberty can sometimes affect a child’s final height if it progresses rapidly. The earlier the growth spurt happens, the sooner the growth plates in the bones may close, which can limit how tall she will grow. However, this is not always the case, and an endocrinologist can provide a more accurate assessment.
It's great that you're staying observant and proactive. A timely consultation will help ensure everything is progressing normally for her.
