There are 206 bones in the body.When a baby is born the bones in his head are not yet fused together. This is so that the baby's head may mold to fit through the vaginal canal at birth and also to allow for brain growth that occurs rapidly over the next several months. Since they have yet to fuse (seal together) to make one bone (the skull), many people count them as individual bones.
