Hi moms, I have 27 months old boy and he had been doing so good with talking. He used to repeat each and every word we speak clearly and also tell us what he wants. Since last one week i have been noticing he started stuttering For few words and now he has reduced speaking too instead he just points on what he wants.. is it a part of development ? Is it normal? He had been doing great with his speaking so far and suddenly This..

My son didn't have a stutter, but at 17 months he started pointing to get what he wanted and started talking less. Maybe because It was easier. He was always a very good communicator, even as an infant. I am guessing with your son it may be either a confidence thing or he is going with an easier method. I was also concerned that he wasn't talking more at the time. So I started pretending like I didn't know what he wanted and it encouraged him to talk more. If that doesn't work call his doctor.
