A three-month-old-new born baby from Chongqing can sit alone, stand and walk with mere assistance, Xinhua news report today.

Doctors from the health department of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University said it's rare that such a new-born baby could walk.

The little girl was born on January 31 this year, and within 101 days, she grew from 2.75 kilogram to 6 kilogram, 57 cm tall.

The girl's parents worry this might affect her physical development.

Chen Qian, a health doctor from Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University said there's no clear medical evidence suggesting this could happen and this may be caused by a pre-mature strong sport gene.
