Question For Women’s Health?
This is a bit embarrassing, but…I am sixteen years old and I am a bit concerned with the development of my breasts. I was just wondering at what age girls usually start developing nipples. My breasts seem to just be sort of round and like they just started developing even though I started puberty when I was 11. I don’t have nipples that are erect and that worries me. Is this normal? (and i don’t think that they are inverted)

Try not to worry – it is all normal and different for every woman.
Here is some information:
The whole process from the breast bud stage till the pubertal development is over usually takes about 3-5 years, but for some girls it may take close to 10 years.
Note also that after breast development during puberty, the breast is still NOT considered mature or fully developed. Only pregnancy brings about the fullness of breast growth and development.

…No one had erect nipples unless the body is cold or someone is aroused…
