How Many Bones Does a Baby Have?

It is a blind belief that babies have fewer bones than adults. But here the facts about bones are totally different. In fact, the children have more bones than adults, summing up to 300. Mostly, they are in the form of cartilage and might not be stronger. Whereas adults have only 206 bones in their body. It is one of the amazing facts about bones that more than hundred bones disappear as a baby grows to become an adult.The bones of babies are softer and flexible which need careful handling. When the cartilage and bones merge together, it constructs a stronger bone. In case of fractures and damages the concerned person needs to go to the doctor. Meanwhile, there are possibilities to set their bones immediately. The skeletal structure is so important for a man and there should be proper practice of body movements.
