I believe the answer is:

crybaby

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'infantile type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'possibly crabby about the fourth of july' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the fourth of july' becomes 'y' (4th letter of 'july').
'crabby' is an anagram of 'crbaby'.
'crbaby' going around 'y' is 'CRYBABY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
