Have I made my baby less cuddly?

This may sound really weird but my baby doesn’t enjoy being cuddled in and has always been happy just being put down to sleep. Will he ever be cuddly? Are babies cuddly at this age or does it come later? (He’s 7 months)!

My baby boy is 14 months and he’s only just started giving me proper cuddles x It will come xx

@Ceri oh thank you! I’ve really felt like he must not have a bond with me or something! I see other babies so cuddly with their mums and felt like I had been doing something wrong xx

No my boy definitely hated being cuddled up until recently! X

Aww don't worry it will come. I felt exactly the same, I was so worried about her not being able to be put down or not being able to sleep without me as a newborn/baby I didn't cuddle her as much as I wanted to and then was like what I have I done she doesn't want to cuddle me! She's 3 now but ide say from 18months or so she becamse so loving and cuddly and now loves nothing more than getting in my bed in a morning and being 'snuggle buddies' as she calls it 🤣 x

@Jade that is exactly how I feel! I feel like I worried too much and now he doesn’t want a cuddle from me! I’m really hoping it will come. That is sooo cute!! I honestly can’t wait for that!! 😍

I was so worried about this too and even posted about it a few months ago 😅 My LO just turned one and she’s such a wee snuggle monster and has started running across the room to give me kisses! It will definitely come!

My girl is the same. If I try to cuddle she just always wants to get down again. I feel like she’s just too independent for 11 months old! Reassuring to see others have said it will happen 🥰
