My baby Long time lurker here. Been a stutter my whole life. So has my brother. I’m worried my baby will too. He is clocking in on his 12th day on this earth this morning. I know statistically stuttering is not a blood line issue, but I do blame my brothers stuttering on him hearing me as a baby, and I’m worried my baby will hear the same. I find myself not talking as much around him, and avoiding certain words. I want to tell him how much I love him constantly, but am afraid to as he might hear me stutter.
