A toddler in Jiangxi Province who has been fed only milk powder since birth is showing signs of precocious puberty, according to jxnews.com.cn, a local news website.
The two-year-old girl, identified as Dandan, is the youngest in the province to be treated for early puberty which doctors attributed to a cyst found in her right ovary.
Dandan is noticeably taller and bigger than other children of her age. While she was only eight months old, she developed lumps in her breasts, but her parents believed it was caused by overweight. As she started to have menstruation after she was over one year old, her parents decided to see a doctor.
The girl was diagnosed with precocious puberty and given medical treatment. Her parents said Dandan had never had mother's milk and was fed only baby formulas. Doctors are still not certain about the exact cause of her disease.
