Does stuttering indicate a "dyslexic" problem? My toddler stutters a lot and some would say that it will just go away. Is that true? or should I be worried this early?

just be patient with your kid and don't push too much... saying "slow down and relax" for him to stop stuttering will make the kid stutter more.
Stuttering can be helped, get your physicians advise on it.

Dennise is right. Usually children who stutters will eventually grow out of it. You don't really need to do any kind of intervention.
But of course if it persists and you no longer feel comfortable about it, then you can go for a speech evaluation.

i dont think so. i think your kid is just having a hard time pronouncing the word. and if he is just a toddler it is quite normal to stutter. it may be because he is rushing to get the words out or he is just excited.

it may be a confidence issue rather then being dyslexic. i have a classmate who was a whiz in math but during english class he would stutter because of low confidence in this subject.
