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
