Brief Answer:
Can be normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At the age of 2-3 years the speech of some children is not well developed. it will develop once the baby starts interacting with other children of his own age.
This is a normal variation and does not indicate a pathology. it is better to let him attend a play school and let him play with other children so that he can enjoy and start interacting. Speech therapist cant prompt the child to speak.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
