Have you ever thought of asking your very young child if they remember being born?

I thought long-term memory wasn’t developed at that age.

The earliest thing I remember was a blinking red light and a bag of marshmallows: Items I saw in a hotel room in Melbourne, Australia when I was very young.

I asked my middle child when he was eight months old and he spit up on my shoulder.

@DominicX Well, I don’t know! It was an interesting experience. My theory was to ask as close to the event as possible, and as soon as they could communicate.
@Blondesjon Ha!

No, but now I wish I’d thought of it. My daughter had insane verbal skills as a toddler, and I bet she would have said something memorable. She could carry on a full conversation by the time she was 18 months old and routinely freaked us out with things she would say. OK, maybe it’s best I didn’t think to ask her about being born.

@MissAusten Sounds like you have your hands full!!
