Guys, Jefferson isn’t the baby given away by Cora because Cora never gave away any baby. If you read the story of the Miller’s Daughter closely you’ll see how she guessed Rumpelstiltskin’s name, so she got to keep her newborn.
Now, we know that Cora only had one child (from what we’ve seen so far in the show) so Regina would be the baby promised to Rumpel that Cora got to keep since she guessed his name.
Other facts that indicate this premise to be true is that when Rumpel is summoned by Regina he tells her that he has known her for a long time, and that by that time she was more portable (he also makes a gesture with his hands that make it seem as if he is holding a baby). So why would Rumpel know Regina as a baby if she wasn’t the baby that was supposed to be his?
Another fact that supports this theory is on ep 2×08 when Regina goes to Granny’s diner to ask Rumpel for help to defeat her mother. There he says “I won in the end”, to which Regina answers “That’s not how she tells the story”, which be a reference of Cora guessing his name (that’s why she says she wins) and of Rumpel turning Regina into his apprentice (why he says he won, because he turned her agaisnt Cora)
