Yes, it's normal for little ones to repeat the first syllable/word. That is the most mild form of stuttering - even though it sounds horrendous! You may also notice her stretching out words, like 'go-o-o-d'. That's a bit more severe, but not as much as being utterly unable to make the sounds come out.
Please don't worry if you hear some of these more severe forms, nothing bad is happening. But again, if it doesn't improve or go away, of if it gets worse, definitely look into a SP assessment.
I don't know if I'm allowed to make a plug for a public clinic on BB? And I don't know if you can PM me if I'm not a full member yet, but I can help you with some Sydney contacts if/whenever you need.
