Solution

Yes, there is a difference in the skull of newly born baby and an adult. At the time of birth, most of the bones are present separately inside the skull but as the baby grows these bones fuse together to give rise to strong solid bones. That's why babies have approximately 300 bones and an adult has 206 bones.
