Inception of consciousness

But then doesn't 

From the very inception of ones own consciousness, a human knows most perfectly well ones own consciousness and it associated experiences.

just say, "from the very beginning of consciousness, there is consciousness"?[

I'm not sure my experience of consciousness is quite "perfect" every day even now, let alone from the instant the switch came on.  We are conscious of something, but whether we "know perfectly well our own consciousness" is a different matter entirely.  A baby has a very hard time knowing where they end and the rest of the world starts.  I don't think the totality of ones consciousness is ever completely in view or "perfectly well known".  What is fantasy, what is real.  What is a genuine memory, what is a confabulation.  We are not regularly transparent to ourselves.

I using the term know as in I know my mother, or I know food , that is recognise. Since you can only know what's dished out to you via your consciousness, you must know the experience of consciousness as a part and parcel of every bit of knowledge

Cliff notes version please.

There are many theories of consciousness, that don't seem to address the essence of it
