Not putting words together

[LindsayS79]

DD was 2 last month and (in my opinion) a bit behind with her speech.
Over the past month or two though she has started saying loads and will try to say anything that I say/encourage her to say.
However she's not putting words together and I'm wondering if this is an issue at this age.
She'll say 'oh no' and 'wha noise?' (What's that noise?) but that's about it. She still babbles a lot when playing. I ask lots of questions like 'what did you have for lunch?' Knowing that she can say the answer but I get no response. If I ask closed questions she'll always respond with 'yes' or 'no' usually within the correct context.
Should I be flagging this up to the HV? The nursery aren't concerned yet.

I wouldn't be concerned. Mine is 2.5 and just starting to consistently put words together, and in the last couple of weeks has been gaining several news words daily.
My eldest is now 10, but barely spoke until he was three at which point he launched into full on language (and hasn't shut up since...)

We're around a mix of children and some younger have been using more language than my son and some about the same as he is.

Personally I follow the nursery's lead on this as they spend more time with the children that a HV does and have a better understanding of their development on a wider scale. My son's keyworker says he's at a perfectly normal level.

How is her understanding? My youngest has had a very good understanding of language (could you get your shoes? can you put this thing in that box etc) for quite some time, but is just not using it himself.

Thanks.
Her understanding is great. I often test her out with requests that I'm not sure she would understand and she does it, to my surprise! She has a lisp but I've been told that is quite common

Mine is two and can't speak a word. I wish she was saying anything.

Speech and language advice is not to ask questions, but to offer choices e.g. Do you want apple or pear, so you are giving her the correct language. Also, rather than ask questions, comment on what she's doing e.g Oh, you're playing with the big, blue car. it's going fast down the slope. Etc. etc.

Dd only made animal noises at 2, but obviously had very good understanding. S&L weren't worried at all, because her comprehension was age appropriate and she was able to use her few words, and invented words in the correct contexts.
