I believe because they are not formed together yet. That's why they are so flexible. As they get older, their bones begin to grow together. I could be wrong, though
A teenager. In a new-born baby smaller bones have not developed yet. The palm of a baby's hand (for example) has no bones, only cartilage. The cartilage turns into bones as the baby grows.
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.
Bones and potential. Potential is wrong! The correct answer is: A baby is born with some 350 separate bones. As the baby grows, some of these bones join together so that in maturity the same person has only some 206 bones.
A baby's skeleton contains 300 or more bones. These bones fuse together as the baby grows which explains why adults have less bones than babies and even children.
A baby has about 300 bones or in other words 270 bones in their body. An adult has 206 bones in their body. A baby has more bones in their body because as they grow up they need these bones to fuse together causing them to be bigger and most likely stronger normally That's why a baby has more bone than an adult does.
when the baby is born, they have 300 bones but the bones are little. As you gradually become older, your bones join and become joints. So that's why adults have 206 bones.
A baby is born with 303 bones. Some of these bones will later fuse with other bones to form one bone. A baby has 176 true bones.
there 206 bones in a new born baby body
When you are born there is more than 300 bones in your body, but when you start to get older you start to "lose" bones. When you are a adult you have 206 bones in your body.
300
No. When a baby is born it has about 300 bones. As they grow, some of those bones fuse together and it is an adult that has about 206 bones.
