7.5 mo not babbling

my 7.5mo DD still isn’t babbling / saying consonants…. She is quite chatty (generally more to herself!) and coos / says vowels, can blow raspberries, laughs and squeals but I’ve noticed a lot of other babies babble by now. Her hearing is definitely fine and she holds eye contact absolutely fine- she’s super sociable. Has anyone experienced similar but everything turned out fine? She’s a bit lazy with gross motor skills (can roll back to belly & sit unassisted but no signs of crawling or standing) but her fine motor and other skills are probably ahead of where she should be. Starting to worry about the lack of babble though. Health visitor gave me the “all babies develop differently” line and wasn’t concerned

This is literally a nothing to worry about. I've never heard of babbling being broken down between the stuff you're saying she can do and the sounds she can't do....it's all babbling. She's babbling! And even if she wasn't at all I wouldn't worry about that for another few months anyway.

I thought babbling was more than the basic cooing sounds, so that’s reassuring. She is communicative just not progressing speech wise. Just keen to see where others fared - I’m a FTM who had a bad pregnancy so have a horrible tendency to over analyse! Thank you for your message
