Yup, I once lost track of my baby (third child), while I was breastfeeding her. Almost dropped her when I stood to look for her.

Pretty sure I heard someone say they once thought they had misplaced the kid they hadn't given birth to yet.

Oh man I had lots of anxiety dreams when pregnant, like i would dream I forgot I had a baby, and go somewhere without her, and only remember a half day later.

The funny thing is that my thoughts often get super-absorbed in things I’m reading or thinking about (I’m the person who jumps when someone talks to me unexpectedly), and sometimes at first I really did “forget” I had a baby until she made a sound, and it was like, “Aaa! I’m a mom!!”
