A baby has more number of bones as in the growing process many bones fuse together and form a large bone thus a baby have more bones. An excellent example is the soft-spot on a baby's head. The skull is not fully formed when a baby is born to enable the head to pass through the birth canal, as they get older the bones will grow together.
