'What we usually say to parents is you can afford to wait for 12 months before seeking help, providing the child does not appear to be too aware of the stutter, is not being teased or bullied and there are not other problems,' experts said.
Treatment and therapy is important if the problem persists and children respond very well. Patience is crucial in helping such children overcome stuttering.

Kids who are breastfed during infancy are more likely to recover from stuttering and return to fluent speech, according to a new study.
