{So#Thus#Therefore}, how is {infant#baby} {affected#moved} by divorce? {Infants#Babies} do not understand divorce, {but#only#merely#simply} they can pick up on {changes#shifts} in their parent's feelings and {behavior#conduct}. When a parent acts {worried#concerned#nervous} or {sad#terrible#awful} around an {infant#baby}, the {infant#baby} is likely to feel worried or sad.

{Infants#Babies} cannot tell {adults#grownups} how they feel. Yes, they can pick up their parent's feelings, {but#only#merely#simply} they still cannot tell us how they feel. As a result, {infants#babies} may act more fussy and {difficult#tough} to {comfort#ease}, or {seem#appear#look} {uninterested#dismissive} in {people#individuals} or {things#affairs#matters} when their parents are {upset#troubled#disturbed} relative to divorce.

{Infants#Babies} of {age#years} 6 to 8 months develop stranger anxiety. They may act {fearful#negative} or {anxious#nervous} for {unfamiliar#unknown#strange} {people#individuals}. After divorce, an {infant#baby} may {see#view} one parent less {often#much} than before, {so#thus#then} the {infant#baby} may show stranger anxiety around that parent.

{Infants#Babies} of {age#years} 8 to 12 months may {begin#start} to {show#present#display} separation distress. {Infants#Babies} may cry, scream or cling when a parent is leaving. It is {hard#tough#rough} for an {infant#baby} to be {separated#apart} from a parent, {especially#particularly#specially} for a long {period#point} of time, such as overnight.
