Does anyone remember that?
I can go back to some memories at around 2 years old, but not earlier. And i haven't met anyone who remembers their birth.

hello,
It's all in the formation of the brain at birth: the neurocortex is the biggest part of our brains,but has no 'connections' already with the limbick system which gives us our memories. Flashes may occur, but a full remembrence of birth is practically impossible.

Cognitive facilities, thinking skills haven't yet developed. Memory falls under this category. All the senses, sight, hearing etc.. are and tend to trigger the first memory. If anyone does recall, their first memory will be something mostly shocking, surprising or fearful, in other cases it can be of a certain smell or feeling they had had. It is said, according to Islam, that when every child is born, satan comes by and pinches him, that's why all babies cry at birth. I'm sure no one wants to remember that.

Apparently, babies don't develop a retentive memory until about 5 to 8 months. Yes, they remember things, but they don't hold on to them the way we do.

That's about as far back as I too can remember. Maybe it is just as painful for a baby to be born (maybe more traumatic), as it is for the mother to deliver him/her.

Beacause that's a very long long long long time ago.How can anyone remember that? And can new-born infants think like you can? No.
