Most people shouldnt rememember when they were babies. The hippocampus, which encodes declarative memory (memories that you are aware you have, unlike procedural memory, such as learning how to walk or crawl) does not fully develop until after age 2. a lot of people believe they have genuine memories from their infancy, but these memories are usually constructed later in their childhood after they have looked at pictures of themselves. these constructed memories often seem more real than genuine memories and are often the basis of child abuse and molestation cases.

Actually 99.9% of people can't really remember life before the age of 3. Why? A child's brain isn't capable of remembering that far. The eye sight is just developing as is the speech. We use speech to clarify what has happened in our lives. Plus to a 6 months old, rolling over is just a part of growing up.

I don't know of anyone who can remember infancy. I can remember to the age of 2 or so, and I'm unusual; most of the people I know can't remember much before about age 4.

Only a few people can. Babies brains are usually too undeveloped to keep memories for a long time and usually people do not develop long-term memory until they are 4.

i guess when you become a mom you lose all sense of memory unless it has to do with your baby's

Because as babies our brains aren't developed enough to remember things.

Maybe cause it was so long ago, but when u look at pictures it freshens it up a little or maybe cause they have small brains :)

anyone whose claims to remember when they were babies is lying.
