DS1 will be 3 in October... he's got quite good language, we undersatnd most of what he says. But in the past few weeks he has begun stammering at the start of may sentences. This is not stuttering on certain sounds, but stammering before saying what he wants to say. For example, we get "wha wha wha wha what is that" a lot and "mummymummymummymummy I want...." a lot too. So in other words it is pretty much a full word being repeated over and over rather than just one consonant. It doesn't bother him, just seems like his brain is moving faster than his mouth can keep up with. And it doesn't happen all the time - probably about 50 percent of sentences.
Is this common at this age and will it pass on it's own, or should we go and see someone about it.

Stammering in almost 3 year-old
