Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Bowlby's theory of attachment describes several phases in the development of attachment between an infant and their caregiver.
Identify that Phase 1 is the 'Pre-attachment' phase, which occurs from birth to about 6 weeks, where infants show no particular attachment to a specific caregiver.
Recognize that Phase 2 is called the 'Attachment-in-the-making' phase, where infants begin to show preference for familiar people but are not yet fully attached.
Note that according to Bowlby, this Phase 2 typically spans from approximately 6 weeks to 6-8 months of age.
Confirm that after Phase 2, Phase 3 ('Clear-cut attachment') begins, usually from 6-8 months to 18-24 months, where infants show clear attachment behaviors like separation anxiety.
