Can babys' bones be easily snapped?

Depends on situation: The clavicle or collar bone is the first bone to fully ossify and the most common bone broken. It can easily crack or break during delivery. Other kid bones are less susceptible to breakage unless there is a metabolic bone disease. Some like the forearm is more prone to accidental injury than other bones like the ribs. A lot depends on the event or trauma involved in the injury.
