No, that is not true.
The following information is from The Stuttering Foundation:
What causes stuttering? There are four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering: genetics ( approximately 60% of those who stutter have a family member who does also); child development (children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to stutter); neurophysiology ( recent research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language in different areas of the brain than those who do not stutter); and family dynamics ( high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can contribute to stuttering).
Stuttering may occur when a combination of factors comes together and may have different causes in different people. It is probable that what causes stuttering differs from what makes it continue or get worse.

No. It's a wives tale, but in reality, you shouldn't tickle a baby too much. Unlike you, they can't tell you when enough is enough & i'm sure that like most, you've been tickled to where you just say stop. So, go...tickle......but remember he/she's just a baby.

I have never heard of that in nursing school while learning pedi/OB.
But I have heard it is not right to tickle a baby, not for more than 1 second anyway. It's like torture, they can't do anything about it.
