Yes. From as young as 3 months, they start understanding tone of voice and different voice volumes. My baby even cried with fear in her eyes when daddy was scolding the older sister. They understand a lot more than we think they do. My suggestion is to take all quarrels to a separate room. Put baby to sleep in a safe place (cot), then go to another room, close the door and quarrel if you need to. There’s definitely a chance of injuring baby if you or your spouse throws things at each other, so please try not to? Fights are common and sometimes unavoidable for all parents. It tests your relationship but also gives you an opportunity to make your relationship stronger and find good ways to resolve arguments. Hope you and your spouse will be able to find healthy ways of resolving disagreements soon. Modeling a loving relationship between daddy and mummy for baby goes a long way in helping baby grow up to feel secure and loved, and also learn how to love others in the future. ❤️ Don’t feel afraid/ashamed to seek help/counseling if you need it. It’s worth it for your relationship and for baby.
