A member asked:

Usually when baby born, her bones were soft. after how many days bones become hard and strong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The bones are normal: Baby bones are normal. They're only "soft" compared to older kids' bones. It's a gradual transition, as bones get bigger and stronger, as the years go by... And eventually, in old age, our bones get weaker again. Babies' bones don't "become hard and strong" after any particular time.
