A baby should be putting two word ideas together by two years of age. If not, it requires evaluation. Many children have speech delay without any other problems but by that age speech should really be coming along more. I agree this needs an evaluation as well. See your pediatrician for this and get more evaluation.
Thanks to all
Your child will need a hearing and speech evaluation. Your pediatrician can give you questionnaires like MCHAT or ASQ to assess your child's communication level and perhaps the need to start speech therapy.
The first thing to consider is whether or not your child is hearing properly. If your child has had recurrent ear infections or frequent nasal congestion then he may have persistent fluid in his ears which makes hearing muffled. Otherwise, a speech therapy evaluation is a good approach. Many counties have no cost assessments available for children 0-3 years old through the health department, depending on where you live.
