A baby's body has about 300 bones at birth. These eventually fuse (grow together) to form the 206 bones that adults have.

The answer is 206 for sure, but let me add some more interesting facts. The "adult" human body has 206 bones. At the time of birth a child has 300 bones but these bones fuse with each other as the child grows up and at adulthood the figure drops to 206. The smallest bone is stirrup, present in human ear and is less than an inch long. It carries sound from eardrum to inner ear. The largest bone is femur which is from hip to knee. The only bone in the human body not connected to another is the hyoid, a V-shaped bone at the base of the tongue between the mandible and the voice box. Its function is to support the tongue and its muscles.

Newborn infants have around 270 bones (the number can vary). Several of these bones (especially the bones of the lower spine) fuse as the infant grows, ending up at the 206 bones present in an adult human.
