You have 305 bones when you are born because they are still separated bones and cartilage. When you become adult your bone will join together and become stronger and not as soft as cartilage.

∙ 7y agoIt is not always 316, but children do have more bones than adults. As they grow, some of these bones fuse together, like around their brain, and so they have less bones. This allows them more flexibility when they are young and makes it easier for them to grow. The rate of growth of a human is much greater as a child than as an adult. One factor is their amount of bones.

∙ 13y agoThere are 206 bones in a human body. In babies, certain of these are actually cartilage which will later ossify into bone.
As a person matures, certain bones fuse to each other, but the number of bones remains at 206. For example, the sacrum (Just above your tailbone) is composed of 6 separate bones. But as the body matures, these begin to fuse, or connect to each other, until as an adult, the 6 bones form one solid piece.
