 Mum-of-three Sarah said: "She was nine months old. She woke one morning so I went to check her nappy and it was full of blood, not just a little bit. It was a heavy bleed. I was worried she might have a kidney infection. "I changed her and took her straight to the emergency room. "After ruling out any other causes, they did a bone scan and found that her bones were advanced for her age. They diagnosed her with precocious puberty that night. "That was her first period. I didn't know what to think, we didn't know much about it and we'd never heard of it before. She wasn't walking or talking. "It's hard to tell if she has other symptoms like mood swings or aches and pains because she's so little. She doesn't have pubic hair or breasts, which some children with the condition can get."
