Question

Which bone are babies born without?

Answer 1

Babies are born without the collarbone (clavicle). The collarbone forms during childhood and is located between the shoulder blades. It serves to connect the shoulder blades to the sternum and helps to support the weight of the arms.

Answer 2

Babies are born without kneecaps, also known as patellas. The kneecap is a small, triangular bone located in front of the knee and provide leverage for the thigh muscles. 

Answer 3

Babies are born without kneecaps, or patellae, which are actually formed by the age of four. Instead, they have cartilage in place of the kneecaps that eventually hardens into bone. This is why babies' knees often appear chubby and lacking definition.
