  Stutter in a 2 and a half year old

  mummy2f Joined on 01-Dec-2003 United Kingdom Posts 2,567	Contact F talks really well but has had two periods where he has had a stutter.... the last being when we went on holiday so he may have been jet lagged and tired but he stuttered for a couple of weeks - every sentence. Now we are back he does it very occassionally, not often. Should I be worried? Do I need to do anything?

It seems that there brains are moving so fast they can't get the words out. As you say, tiredness makes it worse. I would say it's developmental, but just keep an eye out for it. My LO is just over 3 now and rarely does it any more
