Yes, this definitely sounds like developmental stuttering. It sounds like she's already reacting to blocks with word-switching, which a lot of us learned to do as well. If this is any consolation, nothing you did caused her to start stuttering, and none of the treatment options meaningfully increase the odds of recovery. Going to an SLP can help your daughter learn to keep speaking in spite of her stutter, which is the most important thing.
