Detailed explanation-2: -This is because babies have more cartilage than bone. New born babies have around 305 bones. A baby’s skeleton is mostly made up of cartilage.As a person grows up, most of this cartilage turns into bone in a process called ossification.By adulthood, the skeleton has just 206 bones.
