This is a bilateral enlargement of breasts in 1-2 yr olds that is common.
There are no other signs of puberty development and the growth is normal.
As long as the vulva, labia, vagina are normal infantile, and there is no pubic
hair, then nothing is done.

Breast development occurs many times while growing up.
Stages when breasts may develop:
There can be breasts in 1-2 months old from the
hormones in the breast milk. They can put out milk and it was called
Witches’ Milk in the old days.
There is Premature Thelarche at around 1 year of age
that is not abnormal. See:

There is breast development at puberty obviously in
females but males at 11-13 years can also have a breast bud. Usually a
quarter size lump under the nipple that stays there for a year or so
and is tender like someone hurt it. It is normal. It does not happen to
all boys.
And then there are old men breasts too.
So don’t be alarmed at these stages.
