Stammering

My 2 year 9 months old daughter taking long pauses and stammers while speaking especially when asked about something. This I noticed from last 3 days. Earlier not used to stammer and took pauses for this long. She started speaking (forming sentences using 3 or more words) from 2 years 7 months.

Such stammering resolves spontaneously as speech matures so all you have to do is observe the child for 4-6 wks more. Avoid correcting the child frequently Speech stimulation at home - talk calmly and slowly with pauses, and avoid interrupting or correcting them.
Next Steps
Monitor if stammering persist beyond 6 months or worsens
