There are 206 in adults and up to 350 for infants
Of the 206 bones in the adult human body, just slightly over half are in the hands and feet; 52 are in the feet and 54 are in the hands
Infants may have from 300- 350 bones at birth. Some of these fuse together as they grow up. When some bones fuse and become one bone (most obvious examples are in the skull, sacrum and hip bones) the number of overall bones drops to the 206 bones that most adult have.
Finally There are 206 bones in the human body.
