Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A baby’s body has about 300 bones at birth. These eventually fuse (grow together) to form the 206 bones that adults have. Some of a baby’s bones are made entirely of a special material called cartilage (say: KAR-tel-ij).

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Babies are born with about 300 bones, while adults only have 206.

Detailed explanation-4: -New born babies have around 300 bones. A baby’s skeleton is mostly made up of cartilage. By adulthood, the skeleton has just 206 bones.
