Skulls are softer and divided into more parts to assist with the birth process. Skulls that are pliable move through the birth canal more easily causing less stress on the infant and the mother.

Does fetal and adult skull have the same bones?

The fetal skeleton is much softer, it has far more bones which fuse by adulthood. also the proporions are much more different, the skull of a fetus is much big in comparison to its body. obviously the fetal skeleton is much much smaller and is more fraile.as development of the facial area of a human develop, the head becomes much less round (so a fetal skeleton would have a rounder head). the face also becomes more defined and features more noticable. I hope this helps.
