- Why can't we recall being born? It was kind of a big day, so you'd think we'd remember. Anthony looks at how the inner workings of a baby's brain differs from that of a full grown adult.

It's almost as if it was a different person that lived my childhood
My earlier remember is I was young don’t remember my age but my mom came home from work and I saw her and ran across the street and almost got hit by a speeding car
Same
Pretty much
Well we’re constantly changing, I don’t recognize my teen self
I was just saying this!
the very first memory was probably when I was 3. I went to my mom and told her that the word rocket began with an A because I thought A looked like a rocket. true story
Damn, so smart.
New Chap and u think u wernt a dumb baby?
Lol
When I was 5 I was learning in school that "C" sometimes makes an "S" sound, so I got home from school and while my mom wasn't looking, I grabbed a crayon, hopped on the sofa and wrote "CACA" on the wall. I proudly asked my mom "Whats that spell?" and she goes "Caca?" and I smugly said "No! Casa!!!"
My earliest memory was at age two (around 25 to 26 months old). Honestly, even at age two, I probably couldnt remember anything from before I turned two, cause i never remembered the injection I received at eighteen months of age even when I was two, but I can still remember the first time I experienced real pain, which was at age two. My offset of childhood amnesia luckily hit me as early as possible, though any memories I have from ages two to five are snippets.
When I first became aware, I was 3. It was summer, I woke up and for the first time, I was aware of it. It was the weirdest thing. I knew that I was in my room, I knew my mother was my mother and my sister's names. I knew daddy. But I knew that for some reason, that day was different than before and I never forgot it.
my earliest memory was when I was 3 and my sister was born lol. I literally cried the whole day cos I didn't want all the attention I was getting going to someone else
Same, then that same day my sister bit me and I still have a scar from it. She doesn't believe me though.
I remember when I was 2 my parents were in the garden and I tried to show of by closing the door but they didn't have keys and I couldn't get it open so they had to force the door open
Betty-Alexandria Pride Omg same!
my earliest memory is even I was 3 and was feeding my dog m&m cookies and another memory is locking my mother out in the patio and her calling my aunt because she had spare keys to the house.
My earliest memory is being in the hospital crib after my foot was amputated when I was 1, but my next memory is when I'm 4. I've heard intense emotions can cause memories to be more distinct-literally more memorable- so that could explain why i remember that so clearly, so young.
Daamn, daughter! Do you use a cool mechanical leg or do you hop to move?
right, I have at least 3 memories when I was in that age range, once I put a finger on a flame; every person is different and it is completely wrong to say that because the majority of people can't remember before the age of three nobody can, everybody has a different ability to memorize and to remember things and these studies are not scientific because we have to remember that psychology is a pseudoscience))
@@Shijaru64 It's only a foot, probably she has only an aesthetic prothesis with some articulation, and people who loses their legs don't hop, they use either crutches or wheelchairs
I am with you, my first memory is me in the crib crying inconsolably because I was mad that I was trying to get up but I couldn’t, I remember I could lift my head very little and it was so hard.
Second memory, I’m fully escaping the crib jumping over the rails on to my parents bed then down to the rug and I went crawling to the living room where mom and others laughed when they saw me and mom picked me up with a big smile and I guess she put me back to sleep cuz I can’t remember after mom picked me up lol.
Third memory when I was possibly 3 and my mom was giving me my last bottle.
@@Midnitce I think we can all agree that we can have memories from 1 - 4 years of age, but nowhere near 0.
I actually don't know what my earliest memory is, I just know that I basically don't remember anything from my childhood oops
+Isabella Chudley Same, fellow phandom member.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
MORE PHANN YAY
I see phan members everywhere!! I can be watching how ducks poop or something and I'll see someone who likes dan and phil..
tbh i think it would be quite likely that phandom members would be watching a video about duck poop
i cant remember anything from before i was 4... all i remember is waking up on a couch and going to see my dad.
Lol when I was first had conscience was at 4 too, I could talk and I just woke up went downstairs and saw my mom, then like at 7 years old I remembered more shit
Darío Flores i cant even remember my dog :(

+Uncomfortable Bear will if u dnt remember it .. Than why the sad face. Can't feel sad for something u dnt remember.
Me too but I remember waking up in my bed and just going to school
My first memory is of me choking on a cheerio and knocking over a vase
Mine is of me choking on an uncooked macaroni noodle! A little boy fed it to me in my highchair. The horror!
One of my first ones was almost drowning in a pool.
I remember back when I was a wee lil boy I choked on a peppermint and me father had to do the Heimlich remover to make me barf over a toilet 🚽 😆
My first memory is being in the womb hearing a werid nose
I remember been 2 and decided it would be a great idea to roll down the stairs holding a mirror, that plan didn't turn out too well but to be fair at the age of 2 I didn't know any better.
My grandmother on my father side passed away when I was 2½ years old and I don't remember her funeral but I remember when she was still alive.
bobskie321 I’m sorry...
I dont remember my paternal grandfather, but he has seen me once when I was two. He passed away when I was 5 or 6. Only people I remember before the age of 4 were my parents and brother, and maybe some characters from tv shows.
MegaAirplanelover I’m sorry
RIP
I don't remember my brother's (cousin actually) younger brother, who is of same age as me, dying.
They say that I spent alot of time with him, but I don't remember him.
But I remember spending time with the elder one, with whom I came close only after his brother died
Babies brains certainly do not function like anyone else's. I remember my earliest memory. I couldn't even walk yet. I literally remember trying to move from one point to another by rocking on my stomach. I also remember trying to hold a botle with one hand and unable to figure out why I couldn't do it. I remember being in a walker. I remember playpens and cribs. And I remember what I was thinking when I was in daycare (about 3 years old) as well as specific events.
I remember a previous life as well but that seems to be a different topic altogether. I don't actually remember being born though. I must have been asleep.
...You're weird.
***** That's not so much a memory as it is simply an ongoing proccess but thanks for the heads-up. lol
So I'm not the only one remembering more than most people do from super young age xD I do notice at times some memory comes back after seeing a particular place or smelling something particular. Even sounds sometimes do the trick. The main benefit I figure for this memorizing (in my case very visual) is knowing how huge and threatening an environment may be at that age. Things most adults forget.
I remember my previous life as well. I was Jesus and tricked people into believing in god. There is no god people, if you think there is one you are a noob.
Jesus approves of this message
Mark Waal
I remember my past life, too. I lived as a King in Roman times where there were like five Atheists in all of the land, kind of like it is today. They annoyed everyone with their tales of Christians believing in reincarnation (but everyone knew that made no sense). I finally got tired of them being such ear leeches and threw them all to the lions. The whole Kingdom rejoiced at their demise.
My earliest memories are like dreams: just flashes of things im not sure ever happen
My earliest memories were 2 years old at nursery with friends who I'm still in touch with today, and my Dad picking me up when I was also 2. My son is 5 and remembers crazily detailed memories of our old house when he was 1 years old, some of the things he talks about is impressive!
Liar
I always ponder this question. Similarly we never remember the beginning of a dream either. It's equally challenging to imagine my own death without just seeing "darkness" or black. It's very difficult to separate consciousness from existence. Almost as if we've always been. Maybe I'm just rambling with philosophical ideas. But it is interesting none the less.
I think the reason why so many people think of death as darkness or blackness is because humans perceive the world through vision which requires light. So when our surroundings are dark, we don’t know where we are and what is happening. This is why people use the expression lost in the dark when they don’t know what’s going on. For many people, death is considered the end of life and everything and it is a strange state where your mind no longer exists yet death does not mean to lose your mind, so the next best reasoning is that it is fragmented and drifting through metaphorical darkness.
It's interesting when we put our little minds to the test.
Our minds try to fool us that we may 'know' ..but we really don't. We don't know sh*t.
@@birdwing2414 That's true.
And also because humans have a natural inclination to fear what is unbeknownst.
I have a personal view of death tho, which I think most people do, too.
You just go back to where you were before birth: which was/is nowhere.
💀
Yes I believe that we have 'always been'. Our bodies are composed of matter that has been moving around, recomposed, recycled and somehow all is brought together into cells which know to create a living organism. How crazy is that. And somehow from all of that emerges consciousness, now that is pretty damn amazing. I think in that darkness we have always existed, maybe not as our own person, but all the fragmented parts of us I think have always had a perhaps dormant consciousness which comes to life when fueled with the energy given to us by our parents and I believe that we are composed of many different pieces which all come together to form life, and somehow life knows to create life and that is just remarkable. I love rambling and talking about this stuff. Would love to hear you or anyone else's thoughts if you read this, as you I love to ponder this as well ever since I was little these things have always amazed me.
All of this also leads us to the question of, if we are composed of matter which has somehow 'always existed', then how did it come into existence in the first place? I suspect the answer is something outside of certainly my, and I suspect most current human comprehension, but its still worth thinking about.
what i dont get is why cant you remember what you at for dinner lastnight but you can remember what you did in preschool
My first memory: when I was 2, I was getting an injection in my ass for whatever reason. I didn't like the idea of it, so I kicked the doctor in the face.
LOL
i got that when i was 3 =-= and i remember just running out the room and hiding behind the plant just so i didnt have to get a shot. if u saw the needle u will of seen why i was running o.0
:OOOOOO I did that when I was 5 lol I didn't want the flu shot so I kicked and screamed and squirmed he grabbed my arm and held it tight and jabbed it in as I did the holy face kicking... I was a tough kid back in the day with some anger problems and I seemed very odd in school I had temper tantrums :P they embariss ing now cuz everyone remembers it and they then think of my by that memorie not who I really am I am changed but I do kick somones ass on the odd time

My oldest memory is in preschool, I was called into a office with my mum and I remember it and like I said, It is now my oldest memories.
I was 3-4
what if the reason you cant remember much from when u were a baby is because you didnt have a language to think in
na you remember things as picture
昇早 yeah pictures, but you dont remember much because you couldnt think properly because you didnt have a language to think in
+Raj-M THEN HOW THE HELL DO DEAF PEOPLE THINK?!?
Babies have a lanuage and they think. Anyway, you remeber things mainly by picture. Honestly in you're earliest memory, you most likely only remember some words but mostly pictures and maybe feelings.
+Raj-M i have vague memories before i could speak or comprehend language
My first memory was when I was one. My mom moved me from my crib to a new one or something in another bedroom and I was so sad but I couldn’t tell her since I couldn’t speak yet. Only gibberish.
Damn you sure have a great memory
I just realized your comment was made 2 years ago
Aw that's sad
When I was a child, I remembered being in the womb and being born. My dad remembers being a baby. Your lack of memory was caused by trauma.
Not possible. You're delusional. You're not special.
I don't remember my first memory, it's kind of scary how I don't. :O
xYoyoBxtch he meant the first memory you can remember. Obviously none of us can remember our first memories, as usually a person has to be at least two for accurate memories.
I have the same situation, I can't recognise which is my first memorable memory, so weird....😶
same lmao
i remember 9/11 and i was 3 at the time. I remember that day. My mom picked me up from daycare really early and she took me home. She was staring at the tv and i remember 2 tall building being on fire. I didnt see the planes hit and i didnt know what was going on or why it happened but i just remember seeing it. Didnt understand till i was older of course.
Oh, wow. I wasn't born yet :)

I was almost 4 years old and I don't remember anything. But maybe that's cuz I didn't understand any English
What would happen if they asked what a 3 year old's earliest memory was?
My first memory was moving into a new house when I was 2 or 3. I remember looking at the TV, it was one of those old school big fat TV's. And I remember watching The Amanda Show lol. I literally can't remember anything before that.
I was 3 and I'm walking and boom I forget everything except for my mom and sister. I even forgot my own name.
h h did you walk into a lamp post by any chance? Lol
My first memory was falling face first onto concrete outside of a Walmart ....
Lol no offense but that's funny my first memory was yeah in preschool passing out on the edge of the table jk it was getting hit by a car and getting a concussion at 2 years old guy got sued it was also a Christmas morning
Kimberly Rendon sucks to be you
the hit woke up ur brain lol
its funny how we only remember accidents
my first memory is when i was 2 years 11 months years old and we went to homeland of my parents from living in an apartment on 4th floor only with my parents to a house on ground floor in village with a number of cousins grandparents it was pure heaven. Going out of house constantly to a nearby shop as he was also a relative to buy sweets. Coming inside the house and being afraid of cows in the way. My parets putting something in the way so that i would not go to the roof. Going on train to meet my other set of gradparents. Crying the whole day when we reached back in our apartment why the hell were we back. Pushing my parents away and not eating the whole day how dare they come back. Remember alot from that event and then nothing before 4.5 years age.
I remember being a baby. I was in my highchair being fed in our old house. We moved out that house when I was 3 and when I described to my older siblings where things were in that house they said I was right. Just recently we found a photo album containing pictures of that old house and the photos matched my memories from when I lived there being 3 and younger.
I started pre-school at / nursery at 3, but I remember things way before than that. I can safely say that I still have memories from at least my 2 year old self. And not hazy memories, clear memories that other people at home have verified to be true. Neighbours and their kids, a trip to a hill-station, my younger brother as a newborn, a family function. I even remember my fu***** dreams from back then. A recurrent one with airplanes - sometimes real, sometimes toy airplanes. And if I force myself to remember before that, I sometimes get headaches. True story. I'm 32 now.
I have several memories of my Mother, she died (Leukemia) 5 months after I turned 2yrs old.
I told my father, he said it wasn't my memories it was from hearing about her... till I drew a floor plan of the house we lived in... before she died & moved not long after she passed... My father was stunned to see my floor plan was correct right down to where furniture was placed.
Cool. I rember the lorry driver who saved me from crossing the road. Thats my first memory.
Easy, our brains weren't well functioned yet, as we were just born.
I've been looking for an easy explanation just like this.
Our brain was still developing
+Mingma Lakpa Nah man. Asians can remember shit in the womb and say us white folk could do it too if we werent so damn lazy
Lol yep they just like to make things complicated to make them sound interesting
Once you learn how to walk, you can create memories you will be able to remember as adults, though the memories you get at an older age are stronger to retain.
I remember being in the military chanting: WE MUST SWIM, WE MUST FIGHT, WE MUST COMPLETE HUMAN LIFE. 600,000 of us were swimming to our potential other half. Many died along the way. Finally, limitlessly tired from the long swim, we saw the egg. Suddenly we turned against each other. We fought and swam so we could fertilize the egg. It was then that I understood the true meaning of the chant. Then, out of my hundreds of thousands of close colleges and friends, I made it to the egg and was known there on as the first survivor of testicular training camp. Eventually a second winner emerged but we'll get to that later. Let's just say that I didn't end up in a napkin like most of my brethren.
wow, that made my day i guess :D
Do harder words yo , that was too easy
michael nguyen shall i make the word out of steel?
Your name somehow perfectly fits this comment
Crazy thing is sperm don't have a conscious... So where does it come from or is it developed in the womb ??
I first seen the world when I was 3 me at school playing on a slide and a camera in front of me but I can only see it in 3rd person for some reason
Dude I can relate to that.. Although I remember 2 first memories(Can't remember which one came first) The other was when I was pooping in the kitchen with a baby toilet? Or something like that, I remember it in first person but the other one was me passing by our gate, wearing my striped black and white Pajamas and walking with my sister to buy bread. I can only seem to remember that in 3rd person.
Kousuke-shii I can remember when I pooped out a tomato slice and there was a ant on my arm I went off screaming to my house XD
Kousuke-shii same I can also remember only 2 not more I think me and you may be discovering something no joke
Blue Bird i sometimes have these weird flashbacks of when I was a baby like 1 and up and it's like echos or something and I get really bad deja vu
bro your grammar is pretty bad lol
The only thing I remember is when I was old enough to go to preschool
Same I think. I believe structure and habit has a lot to do with early memory formations
ok im 11 and i barely remember anything under the age of 7
I'm 12 and my memory is limited until 4 years old
yeah im mostly known for my "good memory"
Ok, 11yr old, I'm much older now, but at age 10-11 my friends & I were discussing this, and I had no memory till 5 1/2. They had much earlier memories. I felt dumb.
i don't like being called "kid''
callievanhoe It's exactly what you are, child.
my earliest memory was of my grandma teaching me my abc's i feel like i was about 2. i even remember how i used to think. my was of thinking was so basic. things like "ketchup is red" "that is my grandma. i love her." "i like this" thats how i thought when i was 2 (i feel like i was 2 in my memory).
+HelloBelle nigga i was reading at 2 what the fuck.
why call me a nigga you do not know me. As for my age, I was a baby or toddler so I have no idea how old I really was. I just know my thought process was very basic I didnt have any complex thoughts. I could have been any age.
+HelloBelle the above ^^^ message is to you :)
+HelloBelle
I remember my grandma doing the very same thing with me, as well as trying to teach me to read, before I started kindergarten. Strange how I have no memory of my mother ever doing this, yet Mom always claimed that it was her who taught me how to read.
Seriously? Do you also believe in "Chariots of The Gods"?
The very first day that I remember what me waking up in my parents bed and got confused if who they were lol.
Or my brother but I still knew their bames
+Julian L names*
I remember being like 3 and I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror then BAM it all started
I remembered when I woke up randomly out of bed when I was 4 and I was confused since today because I was dreaming about me as a baby
Allana M holy shit so one day u just woke up and thats where u remeber starting off?? thats scary af
Elliot Walker yea that's what I mean.. I think I'm long termed memory that stuff is legit
Allana M Thats the same thing that happend to me!.
Me too!!!
I was 18 months old and going to dance class
My earliest memory was...when....wait...what was this video about again?
I rememberd when I was 3, I used to sleep beside my mother and my younger sister on the other side. But when my 2nd sibling was born, I was totally out of place. I can still remember the pain that I suffered that time, not being able to sleep beside my mother. I experienced that kind of pain again when my first boyfriend broke up with me.
My first memory is when my mom kept consoling me to get me to stop crying. She shoved baby food at my mouth and picked me up to try to burp me. Then she realized that I was fixated on my sister who was watch the Smurfs on TV, but still crying. So she put me back in my portable sleeping chair and put me next to my sister where I was facing my sister. I immediately stopped crying and I remember being so fascinated with my sister and her reactions to the show she was watching. Now this seems pretty detailed memory but I was about 5-7 months old at this point.
The earliest thing I remember was I think when I was 3 in pre-school, and my teacher would snap her fingers if we were doing something wrong. I had just learned to snap the day before (somehow...) and I snapped back at her, and she got mad.
sassypants lol
OH DAT SWAG XDDD
Ha! You got sass baby!
ba dum chhhh!
I had to wait until being 4 to start preschool. The preschool I went to didnt let 2 or 3 year olds
I have confirmed memories from as early as 6 months old. They're pretty fuzzy but they're there. I was self conscious and speaking grammatically by roughly a year. My boyfriend was the same way, which his mom can confirm. Yet nearly all the people I ask can't remember anything before first grade. I have several theories as to why, but sceptics don't enjoy entertaining the possibilities. Really, all of your early memories are still accounted for, they're just more difficult to access because remembering them requires a state of heightened tranquility similar to the "daydream" state infants/toddlers usually function in. By the time people reach school age, their minds are rapidly filled with the stimulus and rigid information enforced by authority figures such as teachers. This rapid intake of rules and knowledge is intended to mold us to a functional standard in society, but in order to make room for the newly enforced concepts, children's minds must discard the old daydreaming pattern of thought, thus forgetting attached sensations and memories.
I vaguely remember being born but, I remember feeling the sensation of being squeezed; seeing a dim light. After I was cleaned up 🧼, I remember being held not by my mother, but by my grandpa.
Lastly, this one is not a memory but, my father told me that when I was born. I did not cry at all and just looked shocked 😯.
One of my memories was when I was 4 I woke up and forgot everything I did in the past I don't know if my brain was just full but I woke up then my dad walked out and he said good morning I think still to this day I think "What did I do in my past" but ill have to ask Jesus or God.
Just coming back to this now i was a weird 3rd/4th grader
@@edinhoo. lol
0mg lol
I must be odd because I have several memories from before I was even a year old. The oldest one was when I was six months old. Memories like that are echoes of feelings, sights, sounds, and tastes, I think. That's how I remember that time.
The same thing happens with me. If i see a TV show from when I was young and I was eating something when I saw it, I can remember the taste of the food.
My first memory was having all of the events that happened before that day flashing through my mind. Then I looked around to see that I was in the front door about to go to preschool with my sisters watching tv next to me. But in some of those events that flashed through my mind, I saw what looked like a past life. I remember interacting with a family unlike my own, and living in a completley different area. It was weird to think of as a kid, but now it interests me very much.
no way sane thing happened to me
Cap
I remember asking my mom what my name was
I remember looking through glass, and elevating above a bunch of big buildings. I later asked my parents about what that might have been. They told me I was 10 months old and we were going up the elevator in the Space Needle.
My earliest memory is being born. I know it sounds crazy, but I do. Not what I saw, but what was going on in my mind at the time. Keep in mind that I thought in feelings at this time and not words so the words I use are ones that I've put to it after the fact. This is the memory... I'm excited. I know I'm about to be born and take my first breath of air. Being in the womb is comforting and my mother's heartbeat is soothing to me. Then I'm born, I take my first breath of air and it's exhilarating! But then I realize I have to keep breathing. It scares me. I realize I have to keep breathing and breathing is hard. I worry about what if I forget to breathe and I die. This is why I cried.
I also have several other early childhood memories, like being weaned, playing with toys, the flavor of carpet and teething toys, learning to talk, and my younger sister being born when I was 2.5 years old. My sense of time during early childhood was not good, my thought process was very advanced, my ability to learn was AMAZING, I know I was not born as a blank slate, there were things I knew instinctively, and other things I figured out for myself very quickly that no one ever had to tell me. Sorry for the long post, this is the best abbreviation I could do. Also, remember, just because I was like this as a baby doesn't mean all babies are like this. Every baby is different. These are just my memories.
My dad tells me he felt something similar, when he opened his eyes and started to blink he thought that having to blink all the time was annoying and hard!
I absolutely believe you because i have similar memories.
I remember throwing up in a plane when I was 2 😊
+Oliver Oconnor you just came
+Zeus The Lightning God what do you mean?
Thats sex.y
chengstax its a pussycat
I remember me sitting inside a plane when I was 2 even today. However, today, it seems like a vivid photograph I took with my eyes. I vividly remember experiencing it, as when I was 5, I went on a plane again and I compared the cabin.
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I can certainly remember being a baby. I can also remember being surprised when I found out most people can't!
My earliest recollection is as a babe in arms being carried in to see the animals in the zoo. I caught sight of a little monkey over my father's shoulder, which my parents could not see. I tried to tell them to turn around and look at the monkey, but all I could do in communication was wriggle around a lot and make wa-wa noises....which was very frustrating, not just for me, but for my parents too. They were sure I was trying to TELL them something!! I was just 9-months old at that time.
Other things I remember happened when I was still very young took place when I was 18-months, (visit to cinema that didn't go too well) and being just over two years (stayed with cousins without my mummy and daddy).
Hmmm.... I will soon be 70, and things are different! Sometimes I have trouble remembering things that happened last week... (sigh). All the same, those early memories are still sharp as ever.
Note: Because I knew what people were saying from the time of being about 9-months, and had full self-awareness, I do not talk "baby talk" to any babies I meet. Of course I keep it simple, but I always use proper sentences, and refer to them as a person, like...... "Hello, John. It's nice to see you."
+effyleven o.o wow... I just remember random snippets from when I was a baby :p.
eon star If you can remember anything at all from before you are two, that is quite rare, it seems.... and my recollections are also just random, and only two or three minutes of the time. But I can remember them in detail... even to the things I could smell, like my daddy's wet coat as he carried me.. was wet because it had been raining. :-)
effyleven I always thought my younger memories were from when I was older till I discribed them to my aunt who said I was very (insert very young age) and I was like "what o.o"
eon star Yes. And sometimes the memories are not original, but things you have heard repeatedly from the family whilst growing up... "learned" memories, if you like. That's why we can only be sure when we remember something that the family did not experience for themselves.... (like me and that little monkey.... the sort of monkey I later found out was called "capuchin")
effyleven Wow that's really cool :D.
I still remembers my first day of daycare. My mom dropped me off and started walking out the door, I tried to follow her but one of the ladies working there pulled me back. I was scared. I tried to tell the lady I need them to call my mom and tell her to come back to get me.
I do remember one particular evening when I was a toddler. I was sleeping and my godmother had come to visit. When I woke up it was quite late and she was leaving already.
"Why can't we remember being babies" people can but it's uncommon, i remember being 2 years old, i even remember before being 2, i remember when my bedroom was being painted and i remember my cradle it was brown, and no videos or pictures where used to trigger these memories, i asked my mom when this happened, and she said i was only 9 months old! this is making me angry how people say it's impossible, how can you tell what a person can or cannot remember? you can't prove to someone you can remember something, it's something only you know and only you know and that no one else can find out, you can't prove your memories either, how can you prove to someone that you remember being a baby? they're very blurry, but a memory is a memory, i remember my parents fixing the tiles and re-doing the tiles on the kitchen floor and i always loved staying in the kitchen so i know these aren't false memories, and i asked my mom what age i was when it happened, she said i was 9 months old, that was in 1996, i was 0 years old in 1996, you can't define an age when a person can start remembering, i can barely remember yesterday yet i can strongly remember every year that happened sense i 9 months old, my mom confirmed that these events actually happened, so i'm not having false memories, these are true memories and my mom said it was true i was in the kitchen on the day they where fixing the kitchen tiles and i was in my room when they where painting my room, and i remembered that i used to have a rug in my room and i remember my parents putting it down, i was 9 months old when this happened, my mom said it actually happened so it's an actual memory of being a baby.If you take the time to remember events you can re-call them, just because they're in the back of your thoughts doesn't mean those memories are non-existent, i was never able to re-call these memories before, so your memory doesn't get worse as people age, it always stays the same, it's just adults are busy with work and don't have time to re-call old memories from being a baby/toddler/child, your memory is always there to begin with, it improves when you're around the age 5, but it was always there, older memories are harder to re-call because we get too busy with our lives to remember older events.I'm living proof that you can remember below the age of 2, so it's possible, i remember the toy i played with as a baby, it had a fish in it, that was the only video tape i watched as a child, and when i watched the tape as a child i could re-call events of me playing with the toy, my mom said that i loved that toy and played with it all the time.
my earliest memory is when i was about 3. I remember sneaking into my parents room after i was put to sleep because i liked sleeping under their bed. I don't know why to this day...I was a weird child
I remember. As a baby I didn't think in language. Everything was emotions translated into imagery and feeling. Bad was a stainless steel pad. Good was soft. My first memory was my mom dropping me in the crib, walking away and turning the light off. When she walked out the door she left it cracked open a little and the hallway light was shining in. She was angry (steel wool, lighting jagged, inside a black cloud, scared) I must have been crying and I don't remember moving around much.
I can't remember myself being born, but I CAN remember myself as a baby, being carried around by my mother.
There are people who can remember their own birth, and I suspect that everyone can, subconsciously, and that's why we assume a foetal position in bed, remembering being in the womb.
I also think that the way they circumcize baby boys without any anaesthetic gives them pychological problems for life, quite apart from being unable to perform sex properly when they grow up.
I still remember when I was 2 or 3 my mom threw all my scattered stuff toys away. Lol
i can remember every thing sometimes in my dreams i get visions of the future and i dont notice until it happens
The earliest memory I can remember, was when I was 3 years old. I had broken my left arm (still have stitch scars from the surgery, many years later) and I remember scenes, here and there. It started off as I was in my living room, and it was night. I was wearing this blue Cinderella dress, and spinning in circles, delighted, and the world started to spin as I got dizzy and disoriented, and a blank spot in my memory. Then I remember sitting in the back of our car. My dad sat to my left, holding my broken arm. My mom rushed me to the hospital, and then a gap in my mind. Then I’m in my living room a month or so later, bouncing around, unfazed. My left arm was in a bright pink cast, covered in writing, my mother or grandmother (can’t remember) sitting on the couch, watching me. And that’s it.
I think 4 is when I started really remembering things, I have a crap ton of memories from then.... I have memories from before that but they're just incomplete snapshots of what was happening at that moment.
the true reason is: mother's milk gets us more drunk than anything else...
I wasn't breastfed and my earliest memory was when I was 3/4
I can't remember anything as a baby but when I try I get this warm and safe feeling.
Bethany K.... ... ... Are you... *****?
No Ha ha xD Its Troye Sivan on my pic cos hes awesome
Forgetting babyhood,is natures merciful way of preventing death by embarrassment.
I remember asking my mom how old I was and she said 1 and I remember wishing I was zero. But no joke in that memory my mom looked super tall cause I was so short
my first memory was when I literally just came out my mom, I remember I was carried out to this room with a bunch of other babies.
my earliest memory.....

the earliest memory i ever had.... posting this comment....
XD
Nice one!
You got Alzheimer's?
wtf are you on about
Woah. You wrote this post before you posted it... and you remembered posting it before you wrote it. That means you remember things from the future! Damn son!
Lol I'm same age XD you HAZ amnesia to??
my earliest memories are from when i was 2. probably when my family and i went to china. i don't remember the order, but i have a few memories from the flights, once i was crying because my ears hurt, i think that's when we were about to land in hong kong, in another flight my parents had separate seats, so i had to sit with my dad, and my brother got to sit with my mom, in the middle of it i started to cry cuz i wanted to sit with my mom. and one day in hong kong i was left with my great aunt because my parents had to go to the chinese consulate or something and i wanted bubblegum but i didn't know how to say it in cantonese, and my great aunt couldn't understand me so i started to cry. lol all of them are about me crying xD
I was hooked after I read "China".
My earliest memory is standing on a table in a cafe on a Sunday morning drinking a milkshake and eating a cookie on the sea front with my dad😂I was 2
It depends how you define baby. Birth to three months is newborn. Three months to whatever age you begin walking: (ranges anywhere from eight months old to eighteen months old) is considered an infant, and walking age to twenty-four months is considered as a toddler; ages twenty-four months to sixty months is cusp between being a toddler as well as being a preschooler, so pretty much ages twenty-four months to sixty months means it is undetermined if you are actually considered as a baby. Earliest memories can range anywhere from ages two to eight, with not remembering anything before five as normal, and also many cases where people dont remember before ages nine and ten, and a few claiming they can remember before the age of two.
I'm not sure if it was a dream or not but i remember my dad holding me next to a picture of a dog and me (as a baby) trying to say: doggy.
The memory was more clear than what u remember from dreams though.
my first memory WAS a dream 0-0
Octavious Sorrell
MINE TOO :OOO. I was two and my grandparents had told me about meteors that day......So when I went to sleep, I had a nightmare about a meteor hitting my house .-.
So, I have two memories of being a baby. One I was on bed like a baby of a few months, with hands and legs moving uncontrollably. My dad came along and played a bit then he moved to my cousin who was next to me, another baby. I started to cry and felt what today I call jealousy. When I tell people of this memory they usually don't believe me. I just find hard to understand how a baby already can feel jealousy… The other memory I was on bed once again, maybe around the same age and people were passing by in the room, I don't know what they were doing then my dad (again) came close and played with me…anybody else who has such early memories?
The first memory I Remember is that I was 4 and I was playing basketball with my family
seeing my birth parents im sure i was younger than 3 years old. i remember laying in a bed and the windows was opened with a cool breeze. it was night time car alarm went off. my dad went into the bathroom and my mom just on the bed she was talking to me like a baby but thats all i remember. i feel that my memory was very vivid for younger than 3.
my first “memory” or as i call it “The day i was born” haha was when i was 4. I woke up and i knew everything but i also had forgotten every memory. I knew my dad, mom, brother, and i knew where everything was and what everything was.
In my first memory, I was three. I was on the sidewalk in front of my parents' house and there was a thunderstorm moving in. I remember that part because I was startled by a clap of thunder and it surprised me because I had been through thunderstorms before and had heard thunder before, but it had _never_ been that loud. I had never imagined that thunder could be loud, but then I _was_ only three.
I remember that my great grandpa holding me when I was 2 years old. That’s my earliest memory...
My earliest memory is of my first birthday party at my grandparents house. I remember eating this huge chocolate frosted cake with an enormous '1' candle stuck in it (it was actually just a frosted cupcake). I remember making an absolute mess eating it with my hands, smearing icing all over the booster seat tray I was sitting at. The house smelled like cake and sweets, buttercream icing and such, but I remember it being such an intense smell. It was like smelling something absolutely incredible for the very first time. I remember then looking around at my grandparents old second house as it was in 1995, my mother who was close to me had a perfume on that I'm sure 80's and 90's kids can remember their parents wearing... with the memory jumping forward an hour or so to me crying, my father (who had brown hair) picking me up, taking me upstairs, turning right then left before setting me down in a crib and calming me down. I remember seeing the tiny red blinking LED light of a fire alarm on the ceiling before the memory goes fuzzy
I’m 15 my first memory I was three and my little brother was getting suffocated by another baby. I remember everything from 3 through 10 other than that things get a little fuzzy when it comes to my memory. The scary thing about relying on my memory is if someone tells me enough times that I did something that I didn’t do or was impossible for me to do I will start to question myself or believe it. So safe to say I’m not the most reliable source.
my earliest memory is from ten years ago when I was 2. I was watching TV on the floor in the living room...
4 years old I remember falling asleep on the couch and waking up in bed....like how the hell did I get here
My earliest memories are honestly from when I was 1 I’m serious
I remember being 2 days old. I was born with many medical issues and what I remember is really a picture and feelings. With the picture I now know what things were that I didn't know what they were then, like all the wires hooked up to me. I also saw the nurse come in but didn't know who she was (or he I just know it was a person in a white coat off to the side). I couldn't move didn't know what anything was until I saw my mom come in, I knew who she was (though I probably didn't know the word mom but you know what I mean) I knew I felt safe with her and happy. Again these words...I didn't know then I was a newborn but I remember the picture of what I saw and feelings I felt. When my mom left, I had no idea she was coming back, I cried and was scared. I described it all in detail to my mom and she was able to pick out the time I remembered, 2 days old.
Though the next memory I know my exact age, I was 5 and got stung by a bee. I do remember some things I had to have been 3 or 4 years old for, like my great-grandfather and granny us taking walks, having fun together. He passed away shortly after I turned 5 but I still remember him though I remembered how he made me feel, he was very nice. I did remember his big ears though but couldn't remember how he looked otherwise but have since been shown a pic, giving credit to the saying that people will always remember how you make them feel, so very true.
What happened between that brief moment at 2 days old and around 3 or 4? I have no idea! xD
Ad that was long :p
Pretty nice you saw the nurse and your mom come in while as a baby you can only sharply see up to 8-15 inches from your face :/ maybe you had eagle eyes then but i don't realy believe it
also you see in black and white (or mostely) for the first couple weeks/months (just some random info)
I don't remember colors of things, the nurse coat was white and the wires were black, everything else was probably shades of gray. I didn't say I saw them come in, the nurse wasn't far from me and I don't know exact distance I saw the nurse and my mom it's not like I could measure then, they probably were close. I know what I remember and it doesn't really matter if no one believes me.
that is my life same thing
Dynshi Actually I remember a room in what I have been in a less than a month old. I remember my cradle, the friendly faces, actually I do remember they all talked to me and I answered - but nobody could understand what I was saying. They just keeped on talking they way. I remember the ceiling, the large bookshelves till the ceiling, all the books in them. and a door. People went from one door to another across the room - I saw just their shoulders and heads, and the squares of the doors. I was just for one day in that room, that apartment. When I was brought there second time, I was 3 or 4, the apartment was renovated, the doors were at different point at that time. I asked my grandma, when I was 20 or so, about the door, she was very suprised, said, there is no way, I could remember this. But later my aunt, the owner of the apartment, said, that it was renovaited, when I was six months old or so. So I'm not quite sure about what scientists believe a baby CAN see, because of my memories - they are to clear and have tooo much details. Not quite sure about the colors - all my childhood photos are b/w. My mom brought me some photos, I haven't seen before - age six months to two - and I knew exact all colors of my clothing. I don't remember clothes, that I have worn a year or two ago, but that memories are just like... maybe tooo precious to forget?
I started understanding things when I was 4-5 months old and that's when my memory started. I guess I didn't get childhood amnesia because I still remember much of being an infant. Warm clean cloth diapers felt so good.
My first memory was when I was 2, we were in Taiwan, and we rode an orange bus after exitting a train station, then i suddenly remember everything.
I have memories from before I was 6 months old. We moved from Chicago when I was 6 months old, I have described scenes in my mind and my family tells me it was Chicago. I can describe parts of the house, the tree and swing set outside the window when a lady would pick me up to look out of it. I can describe people that we didn't know after leaving, including the babysitter. I remember a lot of stuff from then up to now, but don't remember everything. I remember my parents holding and carrying me. I remember waiting for my brother to come home from school, I started school when I was 5. I remember being at the car dealership in 1968 when my parents bought a car when I was 3. But I don't remember the moon landing, who knows I may not have seen it on TV. I suffered an injury when I was 4 and don't remember it. I remember my first day of kindergarten and my teachers name. It amazes me that people don't remember being a child.
babies aren't dumb. older people are just way better than babies because everybody uses only 10% of the brain, and that's why. :)
my youngest memory was when I was about 2-3 years old and I was the third and last child at that time. I remember my mother spoon-feeding me and a tear fell from my eyes and she asked me why I cried and I said "I thought you only care about Tata and Yanyan - my elder siblings.
I was adopted from very bad conditions in a different country. I remember none of the experiences, how to speak my native language, conditions and poor treatment I went through but was told about. I speak my native language in my sleep time to time. And have other reasons to say I fully agree with this video.
It was summer while I was 3.
My birthday was in November so I had awhile till I was 4, and the first thing I remember is having visions of things I wouldn't see for the next 4 years, then I jerked up and simply glanced around, I had memories, but I didn't know why, I knew who people were, I had connections to them, and I knew where I was.
I woke up at 5, and I was eating eggs and bacon.
My earliest memory was probably from when I was 1-2? I'm not sure but I remember waking up, looking at the ceiling and wondering what I was doing. Then my Mom came into the room and after that it's a blur.
Scoin0 mine was at two. Even at age two, I dont think I remembered anything from ages one and below
Mine was also at 1 or 2 during my dad's funeral I remembered seeing my mom and older brother crying Then just blur til was 4 or something.
Ummm.... Memories from my childhood?
I don't even remember what I had for dinner last night.
At the age of 1. I remember seeing my mom for the first time. She was in her work uniform and standing next to her female friend talking.
😞 my baby def knows when it's time to go bye bye. My poor munchkin. She's somexs cries when I gotta leave her for the day. I kinda wish she could talk. But she expresses her emos in other ways. Like hiding her head in my chest when she's tired, sad & what not. 🥰 I wuv her so much. Somexs she's over me & gets distracted by the kids at the church's school when I drop her off. Those kids love her. But somexs they leave as she's getting dropped off & she so looks disappointed. Her stare somexs follows me going outside the p.lot & 🥰💔
I don't remember much of my baby times. but I can still remember and see myself lying in my crib looking up to the ceiling and the plaything hanging from it (IDK what it's called in English) trying to fall asleep by literally squeezing my eyes together bc dumb baby me didn't know you could relaxly close your eyes
I remember my mom feeding me and I had a bib and my legs were friggin useless.
QSUS I think I do, but I couldn't see very well and I was drinking something. I guess she had my head covered? Then by that logic, yeah, I guess she was breast feeding me.
Well than... Nice first memory :P Lol
QSUS 😂😂😂 XD
LOL😂
***** Maybe...
I cant stop binge watching DNews videos - so facinating
Same though
true lol. I always have more than 15 tabs open haha
I actually have a couple of vivid memories of me as a baby, though no idea what exact age those memories happened. I have snippets as early as 18 months to 25 months, but the 25 months memory is the one guaranteed to be true as it was in the summer of 1999. I am 21 years and 11 months old. Just cause this guy cant remember being a baby doesnt mean it is automatically official nobody can remember being a baby. Some adults dont remember anything before the age of 10 while some can remember from age 2 onwards.
I vividly remember being put in my baby bed and watching the lil stars and toys twirl above me
One of my first memories (or maybe I just tricked myself into thinking I had this memory) was when I fell into a pool as a young child (2-3) I know it actually happened, and I have a vague memory of it, but It may just be my brain tricking me.
i have lots of those too i wonder was it just a dream? did it really happen? Damn brain trying to trick me!!!
GUiltyMiner0343 wow man... i had the same thing like you, i dropped in the pool in age 2 - 3 ..
I have most of my oldest memories in dreams and realize that they happened.
IKR someone who understands mehhh!!!! The most weirdest things happen to me in what is to be real
My first memory was in Kindergarten so I was around 4 or 5. I remember playing duck-duck-goose. I can also remember the physical layout of all of the items on the playground like the sandbox, the merry-go-round, etc. I remember the smiling face of my wonderful, caring teacher. I remember the hopeful and carefree feeling of being an innocent child, eager to discover everything I could about the world and all it offered. I remember being happy. Then, over the years, I recall difficult life events happening to me, one by one. Deaths of loved ones, divorce, betrayal, addiction. I remember all of the resulting feelings and emotions turning me into the antisocial, cynical, and depressed asshole I am now. Thanks, D-News.
Earliest definitive memory was roughly age 5 when I saw my mother crying over the phone. This was shortly after my grabdma’s death.
