Do I need to get her a bra??

Francesca - posted on 03/26/2013

I am a single mom so there is no hassle from dad about these things. I went through the same problem with my nine yr old when she was about the same age. Logically speaking u should find her a crop top. Something cute to Mach her personality. Whilst it is sweet u also have to make sure it is doing its job.

I totally understand! I have five kids and already, all of my girls are wearing some kind of bra! My four girls are easily impressionable and so a week ago I got my younger daughter, Lilly, a small trainer bra. She has just started getting breasts (my family has been early bloomers) and its hard to let my seven year old grow up because she IS only seven! My eldest daughter, Mary, who is 13 started wearing a trainer bra at age 9 and she was a shy one ( she wears underwire, sport, or soft cup bras now) So one day I asked her if she wanted one while she was picking out her clothes because her breast buds started showing through her clothes. She hesitated at first, but the next day when I picked her up from school she asked me,"Mom, can I have a bra?" I had said yes and that day we went to Target and I let her try on a variety of bras. She felt most comfortable in a simple trainer bra and I think trainer bras and sports bras are the best starter bras for girls. Mary liked the simple, plain ones better because they were less noticeable under clothing, but some girls prefer patterned bras instead. That was the case with my twins, Ella and Emily, whom are both 10 years old now. They wear small soft cup bras sometimes now, but they prefer comfort of trainer and sports bras better. Emily was the first to need one. She was eight and none of her friends had any bras, but her breast buds did show, so I got her a set of cute, patterned trainer bras. Ella found out and got all upset about the bras and so, even though she wasn't showing any signs for breast development, I gave her a set of the same trainer bras as Emily and she was all smiles. When she was nine she actually started needing them, so she was all prepared then.

Anyway, I think you should offer your daughter a set of trainer bras or sport bras (if she is very active) that she likes the pattern and feel of, even if she doesn't totally need them yet because she will need them sooner or later, so from my experience its best to be prepared. ;)

Hope I helped!

Samone Cakes Lovingly, what will they wonder? They will see her wearing a bra and wonder...... if she's a boy???? I don't think so. This is her comfort, and even if she feels a bit shy about it, the sports tops will do the job effectively until she feels she wants a bra,unless of course, she'd like one now. All mothers chat to their girls about such things. Its normal.

I breastfed both of my children for 2 and 1/2 years and find it perfectly awful that some of you women are trying to tell our young girls how to go about bras (mostly their moms with opinions). What girls should do with their oncoming breasts is up to them. What do they want? Our children do not belong to us, but to themselves, we are here to guide them, not to tell them what to do.. Puberty is already difficult, why not just ask them (there is nothing shameful about breasts) what will makes them comfortable? It's hard enough as it is, empower them with their bodies! Your girl will tell you what to do. Just ask her or let her tell you.

Kim - posted on 01/15/2013

I think it's important that no one judges you for the onset of womanhood growing in your daughter! I have a nine year old going through it, and I think no matter the age, all girls will turn into beautiful women if they have loving support. Talk to her and find out what makes her feel comfortable, that's the most important thing! It's her body that's budding after all!

Kirsten - posted on 01/13/2013

my 9 year old has been in one for almost a year now. maybe start with a undershirt that way it's not a bra but it's still something.

Amber - posted on 01/03/2013

Tell your daughter that everyone has to deal with this at some stage. If you see her breasts through her t-shirt, I think it is time to go shopping with mum to get a 'Training bra' sorted out. As she is only young still, she will only need a 'training' bra. I'm guessing she goes to school, so you might also want to think about the colour of the bra so when she isn't wearing her jumper, you can't see a blue bra through her t-shirt which happened to one of my friends. You can get them from pretty much any clothes shops in packs for really cheap.

I hoped I helped.

A sports bra is a good starter. They come in various colors. It will give her support and coverage without being to confining. And if she is developing now, she may start her periods early also. I 've heard of some starting as young as 9. Last Year, I have 3 that developed and started their periods within 2-3 months of each other. They were 12, 13, and 15 at the time. ( the 12,13 y.o. are my granddaughters we are raising) I am ready to run for the hills when it comes that time of the month, because they seem to all be on it at once, now! The youngest has passed the other two in bra size and is now in a C cup! But then her mother and grandmothers are all big busted.

My almost 10 year old girls have been wearing sports bras for the past year or so. They are starting to wear them more regularly, but they don't always NEED one. Guaranteed they need one if they have a tight/white shirt or are wearing their gym suits though.

My SD isnt ready for one and she just turned 7. My cousins daughter on the other hand had a sport bra to wear with her fitted shits when she was about the age of your daughter. Its all up to you moma. After all she is only 7 and if women are goin to look down on her or you for her not wearing a bra at 7 then they are the messed up ones. Who cares!

Sherri - posted on 10/24/2011

@Donna okay it may not be exactly mandatory but is most certainly socially needed especially for the avg. size woman.

Also Donna just so you know many jobs do require it and have you can be fired for not doing so in some professions. When I worked in a bank it was 100% mandatory.

You are an A cup obviously you could get away with it. The avg. C cup and up could never get away with such a thing. So for the avg. woman yes it is really needed.

Donna - posted on 10/24/2011

Sheri Champagne - wearing a bra is mandatory in our society? Since when? And who enforces it? If I were forced to wear a bra every day of the week, I would be very pissed off. I don't really need a bra because I'm not even a full A cup. Not to mention being very sweaty, stinky and extremely uncomfortable. Wow, wherever you live, glad to know it's MANDATORY for all women to wear bras, I won't be moving there anytime soon, you can count on that! Sorry Sherri Champagne - disagree 100% with everything you posted.

Share Once considered a necessary undergarment, bras today lend more than just support and they have become a fashion statement! But some medical experts say the bra you wear every day could be bad for your health! 7's Sorboni Banerjee looks into the possible link between bras and breast cancer.

No longer just hidden under shirts, Victoria's Secret brought the bra out into the open, making it a real fashion statement.
But could a woman's bra actually be dangerous to her health?

"Our research has shown that the bras issue, we believe is the leading cause of breast cancer", said Sydney Ross Singer, who wrote a book about what he believes is a link between breast cancer and bras.

"In fact to look at breast disease and ignore bras is like looking at foot disease and ignoring tight shoes," said Singer.

Singer's center conducted a study involving five thousand American women, half had breast cancer.

They looked at past behavior, including how tight the bras were and how long the women wore them. Here's what they found:

Women who wore a bra for 24 hours a day, had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer.

If a bra is worn 12 hours a day, there was a 1 in 7 risk.

And women who didn't wear a bra had about the same rate of developing breast cancer as a man.

"So what's happening with the bra is that women are preventing the proper flushing of fluid and toxins out of their breasts," said Singer.

Singer claims a bra is too constricting, interfering with the body's lymphatic system.

This causes toxins to build up, eventually causing cancer.

"If you get rid of the bra, your breasts will finally be able to flush out the fluid," said Singer.

But mainstream medical doctors dismiss the study.

"There's no evidence in any of the world research data that I'm aware of that supports the fact that breast cancer risk is increased by wearing a bra or a bra that's too tight," said Dr. Ermilo Barrera of the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Barrera says women should get mammograms to reduce risk factors and not worry about their bras.

"Watch their weight, exercise, drink only in moderation and don't smoke," said Doctor Hussein.

Doctor Atif Hussein, Medical Director at the Memorial Cancer Institute calls the bra study interesting, but said, "it really is hard to tell you wearing the bra in itself was the contributing factor."

He says it's not the bra, but the risk factors of the women who wear them that is the deciding factor.

"Women who may be overweight tend to wear bras, therefore I would say the factors that contributed to those women wearing the bra contributed to their high risk rather than the bra itself," said Doctor Hussein. He said the issue should be studied more.

But despite criticism from the medical community, Singer is sticking to his mission saying, "there's absolutely nothing good about bras, it's completely a fashion accessory."

He is encouraging women to banish their bras for better health, saying, "We live in a culture where women feel insecure with a natural bust line, but if the price of fashion is disease, then you have to decide whether you want to participate in that or not."

Singer is now studying women who go bra-free to find out if they have lower rates of breast cancer.

yes get her one.
since she started to get breast

Liz - posted on 09/30/2011

Went I went for my first bra fitting at 11, I was already a C cup and went on to develop an L cup as an adult. Personally, I don't think there is any real need for training AA bras or even A cup for younger children. If the cup is only that size, then waiting till 10 or 11 to introduce a bra does no damage to breast tissue.

If your daughter was 14 and all her friends were now wearing bras, then there'd be more reason to get her one anyway even if it were a small cup size, as teenage girls can be cruel to one another for such perceived differences amongst the peer group.

If she has a bigger breast size already than A or B, then yes, she needs a bra.

Evie - posted on 09/29/2011

If it were me, I would look for a sports type or one of stretch fabric.... not an actual bra at this point. Something you & she can do together, make it fun and allow her to try on a few to see how comfortable she feels.... good luck.

Sherri - posted on 09/29/2011

At 7 I say no she does not need a bra probably not for a bit yet.

Evie - posted on 09/29/2011

I would start with the 'sports bra' or camisole type of under garment...... before going to an actual bra.... I've seen the ones with stretch material that may be ok.... best not to make her feel uncomfortable in her 'skin' or that she is 'different' in any way. My 7 yr old grand daughter has been asking about wearing a bra... I purchased her the above and let her choose which to wear (no big deal)..... Bigger things to deal with, right? :)

My daughter is 9 and has started developing and wanting a bra!I understand not wanting her to grow up too fast because she is my little girl.I think third grade is the average,but some girls are earlier or later.She is going into 4th grade.With the media and how they portray women it is hard to tell your daughter not to dress like a Brats doll or Lindsey.All these posts have reasssured me about bra shopping and I feel better about it now.Thanks for all the advice.

crop tops are also a good idea my girls are 10 and 12 and they have been wearing them since they were five also another tip if she is muturing with her top half at 7 then her bottom half could be maturing at the same rate make her aware of periods so that its not a shock to her if she starts early i started at 9 and i have told both of my daughters about them and to be prepared i have also let them know where i keep my pads and to let me know when they start so that i can make sure we have enough to keep them going be prepared i am the one who talks to all the young girls in my family about these things as i have a better way to explain it but just be truthful tell your daughter how you experienced your first period and how you coped with getting breasts and everything will be fine she will be prepared and so will you let her know that you are there for her to talk to and she will feel a lot better about it i came from a big family of girls and we all developed at different rates i got my periods early my sisters all got their breasts first i am the one with the smallest breasts but i have more experience with the periods thing but after getting their breasts they started their periods a couple of years later i didnt start to get breasts until i was thirteen thats what i mean my sisters started between 8- 12

YES! If you can "see" she is growing anything - through her shirts - then a definite sign that she needs to be wearing 'something..
I've been going through the SAME thing with my daughter for over a year. She is only 7 1/2 also. I started out having her wear "undershirts", explaining they were like underwear for the top - and when it became too apparent that this was not sufficiently "concealing" certain parts of her - I opted for thick cotton "sports bras". I told her that they are just like "tank top undershirts" except they don't cover her belly, so it's cooler for her.. She seems ok with it, and 9 out of 10 days, she puts it on herself.. but I was really trying to maintain her innocense and not force her to grow any earlier than I had to..
I hope this helps!! :)

Maheshwari - posted on 07/18/2010

ohh god.the suggestions and replies makes me scary.my daughter is 6 yrs old .I think i have a year more to go to think of all this but still it but i suggest it would be good to get her sports bra .pl explain to her its need and the importance of protecting her .

Rebecca - posted on 07/16/2010

I have no daughters, just 3 boys... however, my initial experience with a training bra was AWFUL... my mom took me to the super store, held training bras up to my chest (which was HORRIBLY embarrassing) and just bought some for me... she had a "get over it, everyone has to" attitude, and that was that. Never discussed it with me, or let me ask questions, or even took into consideration how frustrating it was at the time.

I had never been measured or fitted, so as a teen my bras were either too big, or too small... which made them terribly uncomfortable... my breasts weren't large, so by all means I could get away with not wearing them when I didn't feel like it and all things considered I didn't feel like it often. I regret that now!

I'm 33 now and have only worn sports bras for the most of the last 12 years... they squish rather than support, which is comfortable for me but it really conceals them which for a child might be nice, but as an adult I suppose it's a bit different.

I dont know what decision you'll make, but please take her to a place where you can have an intimate experience with her that wont be humiliating or embarrassing for her. Once she develops more take her to a nice shop that will measure and fit her appropriately and make her comfortable at the same time. Make it a "girls day out" at the mall on a not-so-busy day. Heck, get yourself measured and sized just to make her feel better and to make sure you're wearing the right size too!

Lesley - posted on 07/14/2010

I totally understand your reluctance, but if they are noticeable, get her one. I started my daughter off with the sports bra type, she is almost 9. Just recently, she has gotten into looking for them (the cute patterned ones) and I've bought her several with hooks. They look kindof like womens, but no underwire or anything, and are just cotton. She doesn't wear them everyday, but is starting to more and more because she feels like a grown up.

Sally - posted on 07/14/2010

Laurie is right, a sports bra ia the way to go for now, but when the time comes for her to have " the adult bra" you will both know, good luck :)

Audrey - posted on 07/13/2010

As a mother of 5, two of them girls, I can tell you how different they all are! I would suggest perhaps a little sports bra and perhaps some less fitted shirts. Try not to talk about it too much in front of her and don't make her too aware of the issue, as it may make her self conscious. She is young but hormones can come at any age, and a little extra weight sometimes contributes to the apperance of breasts, as it can even in boys. Another topic not to be stressed too much, but be aware of diet. My elder daughter developed early, and was self conscious but simple wore larger, more loosely fitting tops. She is now a high school teacher and very aware that how she dresses may affect her ability to reach her students, and dresses to prevent distraction. Modesty without being paranoid, remember we are all beautiful just the way we are.

Lisa - posted on 07/12/2010

I would say try getting the 'crop' tops & nicker sets or a vest top, places like tesco, peacocks & places like, that have underwear sets that are not proper bras but start to look like them, my five year old likes to wear them sometimes and she definatly doesnt need them yet! good luck!
