To answer other questions I've randomly seen,
1) it's more common in the US because their maternity laws are absolutely shocking, so yes, it is relatively common for month old babies to be in daycare because exhausted new parents are expected to be straight back to work. It's not something we're used to seeing in the UK because of mandatory maternity pay laws.
2) Yes "all day" is perfectly feasible because what we're talking about is a "memory trick" not simply "forgetting something". People are trying to understand it based on "absentmindedness"; it's more like a memory hiccup, misremembering events from a previous day (such as dropping off a child) as if they happened that day. One of the main causes of that phenomenon is sleep deprivation, as the late phases of your sleep cycle are when your "fresh" memories of the previous day are categorised into long term memory. In other words, not getting enough sleep can trick your brain into thinking that events from the previous day happened that day.
I'm sure this will also be branded "psycho babble!" and people will determinedly insist that there's no WAY that this could happen to them but... It could.
Similar to how people hear about full amnesia / dementia, and most people think, "Oh that surely couldn't happen to me... I could never forget who my family is!"
Yes you could.

..post natal depression could be a factor as well in the thought links as American parents go back to work so quickly, TS...that could be a ‘trigger’ for that as well...there is so much that we don’t know, I think...
