Concept:-

  • Newborn babies have around 305 bones. A baby's skeleton is mostly made up of cartilage.
  • Babies have more bones than adults because as they grow up, some of the bones fuse together to form one bone.
  • This is because babies have more cartilage than bone.
  • As a person grows up, most of this cartilage turns into the bone in a process called ossification. By adulthood, the skeleton has just 206 bones.
