DD has never been one of those babies that likes to snuggle up against you for long periods or cuddle in bed and I posted about this a while back as I was concerned. Even after she reached a year, she wouldn't put her arms around me when I cuddled her or let me hold her close for long periods. I though that maybe she didn't love me. Silly, I know but those kinds of things do cross your mind when it goes on for months. Gradually though, as she has gotten older and begun to talk and be more aware, she has started to put her arms around me and runs up to me for spontaneous cuddles. She even asks to have a cuddle now. What a turn around! If you are having the same experience with your little one, I just want to encourage you that the day will come when you'll finally get that very special cuddle.
