I'm another who says to go see a speech pathologist if you can. If you can afford private, you can miss a waiting list of up to (or beyond!) 6 months. My 3yo really liked speech therapy, it's just like playing for them. But you can ask questions about good ways to play with your child to encourage speech, little tricks and tips. A few sessions can make a huge difference.
ETA: I should say - don't feel bad about all the speech therapy comments, like we've read your post and gone 'oh DUH Liviam, of COURSE she should be in speech therapy!' It's just that, now that I've had some experience with speech therapy and can see the good it can do in a short time, you may as well - it won't do any harm. xo
