Baby's First Words and Other Speech Development Milestones
9. Stuttering
Some children exhibit symptoms of stuttering during their speech and language development. This is a normal occurrence unless the stuttering continues for more than three months. A parent may notice that their child prolongs certain sounds or repeats certain syllables, sounds, or words. The use of “um um like” is common. Research shows that stuttering is more prevalent in families with a history of the impediment.
