Is it true babies don't have bones..?

Question

Because its easier for them to be born, and easier for the mother?
They are apparantly made up of cartilage, and bones begin to develop soon after birth ?
What do you think?

Answer 1

Not true at all. Babies bones are more flexible, and strenghten with age, but they are born with bones. Some even break bones (a very common one to break is the collar bone) during delivery.

How Bones Grow
When you were a baby, you had tiny hands, tiny feet, and tiny everything! Slowly, as you grew older, everything became a bit bigger, including your bones.

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: car-til-ij). Other bones in a baby are partly made of cartilage. This cartilage is soft and flexible. During childhood, as you are growing, the cartilage grows and is slowly replaced by bone, with help from calcium.

no sorry but that is a load ov bull! if it was true the babies would be all floppy and its head would be like a sponge ball...
the bones are soft and easily dammage but they are very much there... thats why a baby has "soft spot" on the top of the head where the bones are not fused together and the scalp can come together during birth and come back after and they have that for quite a few month...
the only thing they are not born with are fully developed knee caps i dont know why but there not. they develope later on after being born, baby's have bones they are just cartalige ( sorry horrible speller) on the end to give them time and room to grow...

Answer 4

Do Babies Have Bones

Answer 5

of course they have bones, they are just more bendy so it's easier for a baby to pass the birth canal, but of course they have bones, they start to get harder after birth, but that doesn't mean they don't have them when they are born. In an ultrasound you can see the baby's spinal cord, arms, fingers, etc, and those bones are real....Where di you get this from?

Answer 6

Babies are born with bones, but some bones, such as their knee caps, are only cartilage when they're born and don't turn "bony" until they're around 3 years old.

So in answer to your question, they are not born entirely without bones, but some of the bones do start out as cartilage.

Answer 7

No. A baby actually has fewer bones than an adult because some of what will be bones later on start out as cartilage, and bone is laid down as she/he grows.

Answer 10

Babies have really soft bones. What they they arent born with are fully developed knee caps. Thats why you can see some kids just thunk against a floor when they are crawling. Their knee caps grow in after they start walking. Werid i know but i found that out from my doctor!! If you are talking about birthing them, their head is really maliable. The plates slip over each other when the head moves down the birth canal.
