How many bones are in new born baby

At birth, a newborn baby has around 300 bones. As they grow and develop, some of these bones fuse together, eventually forming the 206 bones found in the adult human skeleton.

In fact, the number of bones in a newborn baby is around 300-320, which is more than the number of bones found in an adult human skeleton. This is because many of the bones in a newborn baby are still separate and have not yet fused together.

Here's a breakdown of the number of bones in a newborn baby:

• At birth, a newborn baby has around 300-320 bones.
• By around 2-3 years of age, the number of bones has decreased to around 270-280 as some of the bones begin to fuse together.
• By around 5-6 years of age, the number of bones has decreased further to around 206, which is the same number of bones found in an adult human skeleton.

It's worth noting that the process of bone fusion, also known as ossification, continues throughout childhood and adolescence, and is complete by around age 25.
