Surprise! Cuddling with your infant will make them more social later!

My little girl is such a great cuddler! One of my favorite times is at night when she snuggles with her daddy and me when she is tired. She is now old enough to almost give me a hug. So you can imagine how excited I was when I found that research has shown that infants who are cuddled a lot are more likely to grow up to be affectionate, well adjusted adults. Evidently, even if you try to make it up to them as toddlers, it seems the damage is hard to reverse. It's all about the hormones. Imagine that. So take the time to love your new baby. They will love you back for years to come.
