She's just 4 years of age and already grown breast of the size of a matured teenager.
According to 'Shari Nethersole' a physician at
Children’s Hospital, Boston, and an instructor in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical
School.
The onset of breast development in girls less than 8 years of age may be
 the first sign of precocious puberty or more likely a condition 
referred to as benign premature thelarche. Benign thelarche is most 
commonly seen in girls who are under 2 or older than 6 years of age. In 
those girls under 2 years, breast tissue is thought to be a consequence 
of infant gonadotropin secretion and ovarian hormone production. History
 and physical findings that support benign development include presence 
of breast tissue since birth, waxing and waning size of breast 
development, absence of other pubertal signs, and no evidence of linear 
growth acceleration. Additionally, benign thelarche in girls under two 
years rarely exceeds Tanner stage II development.
