Sorry if this is a bit obvious but sometimes simple things get over looked. Has she started her period yet? A friend of mine had a daughter of 8 years old start her period so it is quite possible that the pain in her breast is caused by her body preparing for her first. When it comes to lumps and bumps again this can be related to periods. Best thing to do if it doesn't seem to disappear or gets any bigger is to get it checked at GPs. At your daughters age as well it could simply be growing pains/change in hormones.

Hope that's helps a bit?!

It could be growing pains in her boobs. Does she understand that they will be growing soon?? If not now might be a good time to tell her and to explain that this could be a reason for her pain. I would also explain to her that sometimes people get bad lumps in their boobs and give her the option of seeing the doc.
This kind of thing makes me glad my eldest (a boy) is only 6!!

My friends daughter had this and for about 2-3 weeks had the startings of a boob on her left side while still totally flat the other!!! Not long after she went running into her mum's bedroom at 6am one morning coz the other side had 'appeared' over night!!!!

Certainly does sound like she's 'sprouting' hun. Watch out for mood swings etc, if she's not had any already - u mite start to see a pattern emerging as to when she mite be pre-menstral etc.

Thanks for this one, my 9 year old has just told me today that her boob is hurting and so we had the talk about growing up this morning before school!

hi i have a 16yr old and an 11 yr old, my eldest was 11 when she started her periods and my 2nd was 10, but they started with pubity and mood swings at about 8 yrs old. Apparently and it was true with both my girls that once they hit the 7 stone mark and have under arm hair showing they can start their periods. so just look out for them signs and you'll have an idea when its coming

My ten year old has that in both breasts, she told me it happened about the same time. Is this normal?

SarahSSmith · Dec 26, 2018 3:58PM

Hello Lily, I am a year younger but I have adult supervision. I have that issue when I lay on my tummy so thank god I’m not a stomachache sleeper. I think it’s because we’re growing and also, yesterday I asked my cousin who had the same issue and she told me the same thing! I really hope yours (as weird as that sounds) feel better... this was not helpful

Hi ik im young but I’m 11 and I feel a lump in my right breast near the Nipple area. It’s started hurting a few days ago and I felt my breast and felt a small-ish lump. I started my period when I was 10 but idk if it is cancer or if it’s benign. Can someone help please?

Hi my daughter is 10 yrs old and is feeling little lump behind the right nipple. What can be the reason.

Dooley’s · Jun 29, 2019 2:23AM

My daughter is 10 and she’s going through the same thing, only her right side is hurting for like two weeks now. Her boobs are are getting big and I had to break down to her. that her body is going through some hormone changes and A lot of other stuff
