Infants and toddlers have no conception of death but are very sensitive to their environment and the people around them. They are especially sensitive to the emotions of their caregivers and will recognize separation from primary caregivers and changes in schedule or routine.
You may notice increased crying, clinging, thumb sucking, attachment to special toys or stuffed animals and temper tantrums. Infants may also show signs of regression, changes in sleep patterns and may have less energy/engagement with others.
It is important to maintain routine as much as possible and increase physical closeness (cuddling, hugs, etc). It is also a good idea to save some special keepsakes and pictures to share with your infant later in life.
