>> Exactly how is being a "baby" defined in this instance? Are toddlers included in this definition or only infants? I can boast a good handful of memories from before the age of 2.

I'm not sure how they're defining it. Most people seem to have their earliest memories around age 2-3. But it can be earlier, or later.

>> What memories are supposed to already be in place when we come into this world? <<

Depends on the person. Most don't seem to have any. For people who have farmemory, there are categories of memories that commonly stick, including:

* highs, like getting married
* lows, like dying
* repetitions, like skills or habits
* principles, like cultural concepts or natural laws
