  There are approximately 270 bones in a human infant, some of these fuse together as we grow so a human adult has around 206-213 bones.

  You are born with 270 bones but as you grow up some of them combine and form around 210 bones in healthy adults. Interesting right!! maybe that’s why kids are more flexible than their parents and able to sneak under the bed!!
