A relative of mine says she could remember something from when she was 18 months old. I suppose it is possible, but not common. I think I can remember my baby brother coming home from hospital when I was 3 1/2 years old, but I am not sure if it is a memory or memory of my mom talking bout it repeatedly.
I remember seeing my parents’ Manchester Terrier, Suzie, run over in front of our house one day.
My mom says that’s impossible since I was not even 2 when it happened.
In fact, they never spoke of it or her so there were no “implanted” memories.
One day, years later, I started crying about her and that’s when they admitted it had even happened.
I vividly remember getting a pony for Christmas when I was 3.
The mind is a funny thing.

I have a memory of my older brother holding me while sitting in a rocker and feeding me my bottle. For most of my life I had thought I had been breast fed, so the memory couldn’t have been true but then a few years back, my mother told me that I was breast fed for about the first 6 months and then switched to the bottle and indeed, my older brother had occasionally fed me my bottle.
I was off breast and bottle by the time I was one year old. That puts the time period at 1945-1946.
My first memory that I am aware of is on my 3rd birthday and I’m running into my parents’ room. I also have another memory I suspect is from when I was 3, but I’m not positive. Then again, memories are tricky so I don’t know if I made them up.
