            New Born Babies have around 305 Bones, while an Adult has only about 206 Bones. This is because some Bones Fuse or Grow together as we get older. 
             A Baby's skeleton is mostly made up of Cartilage (soft bones). As a person grows up, most of this Cartilage turns into Bones in a process called Ossification (The Natural Process of Bone Formation). By adulthood, the skeleton has just 206 Bones.
