What is the bone count difference between infants and adults?

Answer 1

Babies are born with approximately 300 bones. As the baby grows older many of these bones fuse together to become one bone. For example, the babies skull consists of 29 bones at birth but these fuse together to make the solid skull of an adult. The normal adult body contains 206 bones with the smallest being in the ear. Or you could just say hello there. As the big Mac would say himself, thank you sooo much!
