2 year 4 month old Stuttering

I’m just curious if anyone had a two year old who talks a lot, but has recently started to stutter and repeat the first word of a sentence or something she is trying to say. It’s like she knows what she wants to say, but the first word just gets stuck like her brain is working too fast for her mouth.

Yes! My daughter did the exact same for a couple of months. Like you said it’s like the words are getting stuck.
Their brains are working so fast and they haven’t developed the muscles to keep up.
One thing that helped us (obviously every child is different) was just waiting until she got the word/sentence out, as long as it takes, without interrupting or filling in the blanks.
Another thing was when she was getting frustrated by the stutter was, after she finished trying to get her words out, getting her to take a couple deep breaths and finish with a tickle. Helped to reset.
It went away on its own and she’s 2yr 6mths.
Hope this helps!

Thank you!! I was hoping it want just me and being a worry wart, but I try not to interrupt and just repeat what she wanted to say so she can clearly here it, but boy is it hard when you know what they are asking lol

My sons just started doing this at three or he’ll jumble his sentence I can see the scramble bothers him a bit but he gets there. And I’m sure with patience and loving understanding it will pass.

Mine does this

My daughter gets seen by an occupational therapist every month and a speech therapist every year. Our OT said stuttering at that age is just because their minds are moving faster than their little mouths can speak. The best thing to do is practice patience as they are trying to get it all out!

I’ve asked this same question to professionals and have been told that it’s completely developmentally normal

My little brother stuttered pretty bad around that age, and he completely grew out of it within a year

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
