Makenzy is going on week 3 of stuttering! her pedi said that he is not worried about it at all and I am not really worried either. Just wanting to know how long everyone else has been at this! The first time she did it around 2 years old - it only last a week. This time it is REALLY bad! She will sometimes repeat the first word of her sentence 15 times before she finishes the sentence.

Izzy's lasted almost 2 months before starting to get better and was so bad she would sometimes stop trying to complete her sentence and choose another word instead. It is so hard to not finish the sentence for her but I did find that really getting down to eye level with her and giving her all the time in the world to say what she wanted to say with my undivided attention (difficult since I also have a 7 mo old) has helped. Now it is only occasionally when she is tired or not feeling well or super excited that she stutters.
