B) 250

C) 300

D) None of these

The number of bones in a newborn baby is:

C) 300

Newborn babies have around 300 bones, while adults have around 206. This difference arises because a baby’s skeleton has more cartilage than bone. As the baby grows, some of this cartilage hardens into bone, and some bones fuse together, resulting in the adult bone count.
