Pediatric Endocrinology

My third daughter is a slim tall 18 month old who has large breast bumps.  She is in the 98% percentile for height. After preliminary blood work and an xray her pediatrician says she has high levels of prolactin and an advanced bone age.  What should I expect to hear from the pediatric endocrinologist at her appointment in March.

Signed,
Concerned Mom

Is there any chance she is getting at a product in the house that has hormones in it?  Even soy can do it.  I heard of a little girl who used to eat her grandmother's hormonally based face cream, and she started to develop.
