The earliest memory I have, that I actually consider a memory and not just a weird dream, is a sensation of feeling very warm and comfortable and then suddenly feeling very cold and upset and wanting to go back to the warm place. I'd like to say this was a memory from when I was born, but I honestly have no clue when this happened as I couldn't see anything. I think the reason this memory stuck with me was just the stark contrast between "this is nice" to "this sucks, put me back".

I have a 10 days old baby, and this comment resonates a lot with the experience of bathing him.

He is very calm and seems to appreciate the experience, until it's time to get out of it.

We do our best to keep him warm and heat the room, but it does not seem to ever be enough to ease the ending.

I'm curious - could you describe one of the weird dreams your had from earlier then this? It'd be interesting to know.
Same here! My wife did some research recently and it seems like some people really have a memory of this sensation
