During normal development, children may experience mild chest protrusion. In girls, a distinct, rounded breast bud appears as mammary tissue begins to develop, gradually increasing in size over time. During puberty, estrogen influences breast development, causing the nipples to gradually become more prominent; however, the rate of development typically slows over time. Additionally, the breasts may feel tender or sore, and even light touch can cause discomfort or pain.
