Silent 20 week old DD!!

Ok, I'm probably a freak for worrying about this but DD, 20 weeks, doesn't do any coo-ing or make any noise at all (apart from screaming/crying of course!). I hate myself for saying this but ALL the other NCT babies are mimicking sounds, coo-ing, gurgling etc.. Is this ok and is she just a quiet soul or should I worry?

ds was very quiet at this age too. Very mellow baby , didn't react in a big way to much at all until he was a bit older. Don't worry.
Now he is 2 in August and talks complete and utter nonsense, a lot!

Thanks Tigana - its just that her mum talks ten to the dozen as does her dad... maybe she can't get a word in edgeways..

My DS was slow to start babbling. I think he started at about six months with some ahhhing etc. No mama or dada until about 10 months. I talk a LOT and was sure he would be a really early talker too and also wondered if maybe he couldn't get a word in. He is 14 months now and talks all the time. I really do mean ALL the time. Last night at 3:30am he started talking to his stuffed animals for 5 mins. Then nodded off again.
