Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 It is not unheard of for an RSS baby to have issues with pubic hair.... needs to be checked for her hormone levels to see if she is in early, and I do mean early, adrenarche. How is her weight? Is it a good weight for height ratio? If it is high, then she needs to stop gaining for awhile. Sometimes that helps. But you need a good endo to check this out for you. You know who would be of good help with this? Jovanovich. She has posted a few times in the last day or two. Her daughter, Janelle, had this issue at a very young age. Unfortunately, Janelle is no longer with us, but has remained quite involved in our group. I would look up her email address on the listserve and email her directly. If you cannot find it, email me at magicrss @hotmail.com. I have it saved there. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Jodi- is about 10 1/2 pounds...at 7 months.. not sure of her height. But she's lean. I'm worried I may have overlooked something else that might be wrong with her. We see the geneticist in may.. but I don't think I can wait that long. I hate not knowing. Thanks for the info...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi , Thank you for asking a very IMPORTANT question. It is NOT normal for a 7 month old to have pubic hair because pubic hair comes in Tanner stages later in life. Please get her to her ped who will refer her to an endo. My child had it way too early, so this is something I have been dealing with for a few years now. You are a very Good Mom for asking. It was a very, very important question.
