At birth, infants have approximately 300 bones, many of which are made of cartilage. As they grow, some of these bones fuse together, leading to a total of 206 bones in a typical adult skeleton. This fusion process is essential for providing a more stable and strong skeletal structure as the body matures. The decrease in bone count is a natural part of development, reflecting the transition from a flexible infant skeleton to a more rigid adult framework.
