Babies Can Remember Pain, Here's The Scoop The idea that babies could not feel pain after birth was believed as medical fact into the late 1990s. That, however, is not the case.

They say they don't remember, but my son does | circumcision pain "I ignored anything anyone tried to tell me.... I pardoned myself.... But now I know better. My third son is intact. I ended the cycle."

Note: People who remember infant ge***al mutilation means men, women, and intersex. If you remember being sexually mutilated as a child older than infancy, you are WELCOME, too. People need to hear your voice!
Babies do remember everything, and some of us remember more consciously than others. What they can't do at that age is articulate their experience.
As for me (The Guardian Angell), I remember being taken from my parents at birth in hospital (U. S. Naval Hospital Quantico, VA, 26 January 1965) be circumcised so vividly that I also distinctly remember asking my mother when I was about three or four, "Mommy, why did you and [daddy] put me in a blender?"
That memory never left me, and I had recurring nightmares up to the age of 25.
That was the year when. having done some actual research, I woke up to the very real nightmare of understanding what was stolen from me and how it had affected me in so many ways that I had taken for ‘normal’, i.e., as a design flaw on the part of our Creator. (Why would God make that sensitive g***s stick out, unprotected?)
And then it it became clear what I was remembering all along.
I have since confirmed details of my memory with my father.
I AM NOT THANKFUL
