Aside from doing it all over, can you imagine the horror of having all the skills, memory and mind of a fully mature person trapped in the body of a baby?
Can you imagine knowing that when you hit 35 you have a brain injury due to an A.V. malformation, almost die, wake up in hospital, become permanently disabled and have to learn to walk again?
“A brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare, abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, bypassing normal brain tissue. It typically forms before birth and can cause seizures, headaches, or neurological issues, though many are asymptomatic until they rupture, causing a dangerous brain hemorrhage.”

Trapped?
I’d not be able to contain myself, and would speak, and ambulate, immediately… wowing people to such a spectacle… a talking dancing baby, who can espouse advanced philosophical notions, challenge people to reflect on their epistemology, and even warn of crooked ploys put upon the world. … Oh dear… I did not want to become a religious icon.
I’m presuming the baby continues to grow up normally, and is not an eternal baby-body prison… and that “all the skills” includes psyche-motor skills. … And best of both worlds, able to learn like a baby too, vividly retaining near everything, contrast to old-man brain (where decades of toxin accumulation and stress have impaired neurogenesis and learning capacity).
Yes, and as an adult I have no idea how to walk around as a baby, speak with a baby’s vocal chords, etc. The only body I’m used to using is my current adult body.

…Yeah…
Audio Video malformations must be awful.
It’s Adult Video malformation.

ONLY if you do things the exact same way again?

You might know how to speak with an adult’s vocal chords, or to walk with an adult’s body. I doubt you’d be able to do either with a tiny baby’s body.
