Question

ELi5 Why we don’t remember our first four years since birth?

In: 3

Answer 1

I have hazy early memories. I can remember walking across the landing of my house in a sleep suit which is lemon. My mom thinks I was about two when I wore it.

I can remember being in the back of a car, no seatbelt and my legs and feet being as long as the seat so my knees were not bent.

I have lots of memories from nursery so I was 3/4 and onwards since then.
