DD is 2 and a bit and always been very good verbally and has a good vocal for her age. DS is nearly 2 weeks old. Since he came home she had developed a sort of speech issue. It's like the word will not come out of her mouth some times... Like it gets stuck in there and I can tell it frustrates her because she can't get it out. It's not every word and it's only at the start of a sentence. She can still sing and say all her words.
Could this just be due to the changed in the house? It's been a pretty big change for her I guess... I am trying to spend as much time as I can with her and stick to her routine as much as we can with a newborn!
I'm getting upset about her speetch and I feel like it's all my fault!
Any one else experienced this? I'll give it some time but will see someone if I need to for her sake.

I know DS went through a phase where his mind seemed to run ahead of his mouth and he had trouble getting words out. Regression of all sorts is quite common when a new baby comes along.
Darc did something similar. It used to frustrate me no end, but you could see how much worse it was for her as a previously eloquent child. In the end instead of trying to ignore it we'd say, no big deal just start again, I'm listening. It did take a couple of months but it passed.
You're right, it is a big change for her. It is not something you've caused.
