My middle daughter who is now soon to be 22 had this issue (she also started to get her period at 9 and has had it every month since - poor thing). I bought her bras as soon as she started to show. Just small training bras or half camisoles - no padded ones like I see a lot of nowadays!! I would get her a few even with the weight the breast area still shows. Good Luck!!

I noticed it with my daughter but really didn't want to go down the bra route as i think she is far to young. I had a good look around the shops and found what they call crop tops like soft cupless brass that have no clips or hooks. The do the job perfectly and don't look to old for her plus she will wear them as they don't irritate her :)

I probably would go for a bra-top not an actual bra at this age. When they are growing properly they start as a little lump that gets wider with time, if its just puppy fat they'll probably be soft.

get her some teen bras and have her wear them. my daughter started her period at 8 years and the doc told me it is normal these dayas.

Puberty is apparently getting earlier and earlier. I was 10 when I got my first one and that was considered early, back in '85. I was mortified, none of my friends were wearing them and I felt a bit of a freak, but my Mum made it special. She took me out and bought me my first bra and talked to me about my body changing. How about arranging a special shopping day with just your daughter and you. Go to a nice underwear shop and try them on together. Make it special and a treat and something to be proud of. You don't have to be full on about the rest of the changes to come but as you're talking about it you should be able to gauge what she's ready for.

I have not encountered this issue with my kids, however I believe that regardless if it is weight or not it is most likely time to get the bra. She has most likely noticed them too. If your actions seem avoiding in anyway it can create shame and doubt. She needs you to discuss it with her and show her that her body is normal. 8 is early so there will be kids in school that will comment on it. She will put more consideration into your reaction to her body, then her peers.
