This is not a good site for you to read.

I've never heard of gynecomastia in a female, because gynecomastia by definition is female like breast development on a male.

Take your daughter to another doctor and have a 2nd opinion.

Transient breast growth is quite common in newborns and though usually resolves within the first two months, may persist much longer.  It would be important to know whether mother is on any meds/hormones that might be delivered to child by breast feeding.

I agree that a second opinion may be more reassuring.

This site is full of plastic surgeons and guys with man boobs.

I'm not trying to shoo you away (you're more than welcome!) but for the interest of your daughter you need to seek treatment from a health provider who can examine her and work with you. Start with her pediatrician, and if needed get a referral to a specialist if you feel the pediatrician is not helping you.

Good luck. :)
