It's a rare condition where a child's body starts to develop too early and Birdie had started her period before she'd even learned to walk and talk. Sarah, 38, said: "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 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, Sarah said, had been her little girl's first period. The mum-of-three added: "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." Sarah, who lives in Sydney, Australia, said she hated how she has to explain the condition to Birdie's teachers so they don't become concerned if they see blood in the now two-year-old's underwear. "When she goes to daycare I felt like I had to explain that if they find blood in her nappy that's why and we have a doctor's note to ensure no one becomes concerned about it. That's our biggest hurdle with her. "As she grows up, I hate that's always someth){kind=link}
