Could Walking In 7 Months Effect Joints And Muscle Development?

Hello, I have a baby girl. She has just turned 7months 2days ago. She's always been very active started turning back to front at 2.5m, crowling since 5.5m, sitting comfortably on her own 6m. She is standing where ever she can, moving around furniture and pushing chairs. I think its only matter off couple of weeks she'd start walking on her own. I would like to know if its not too early for her at this age to start walking and it wont affect her joints and mussle development. Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
normally the baby rolls over by 5 months, sits by 8 months, stands and wlks on holding to furniture by 10-11 months and walks on her own by 13 months.
Some babies do it early and a bit late.
There is biological variation for any skill development.
This will not harm her muscles or joints.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
