You don't mention how old she is, but as long as she does not object to you cuddling with her at times, there is nothing wrong with that.

You need to respect her and her personal boundaries as she grows up (within reason-not rebellion from her). By boundaries, I mean, if you are cuddling (holding her/being "kissy face" on her cheeks), and she objects by getting fussy, then please stop until another time, when she wants the attention.

It's okay to have her sit on your lap as you read a book to her, to rock her to sleep (if a baby especially). It's okay to have cuddle time like on a Sat. morning, when you first are waking up, relaxing.

I hope this helps. Take care.

And enjoy your daughter, she is a gift from God.

Hi there, when I had my son I noticed that people aren't that affectionate to their children anymore! I for one love to cuddle my son. He is 7 now and he even wrote in a school exercise that "cuddling mum" was one of his favourite things to do! I am a single mum also, i'm now 32 and he is 7, and he is also the light of my life. Don't worry about other people being the way they are, people are just WEIRD and need to get over their own insecurities and see that some people are just more affectionate than others. There is nothing wrong with that! But I used to have to tell the day care centres when you had to fill in those enrolment forms that he was very affectionate, and they thought i was just saying that but then they would teach him and notice that he really liked to be cuddled alot. I used to wonder why they thought that was a bad thing. He is now very well adjusted, not a mummys boy at all and very secure in himself. He never has tantrums and is not a spoiled brat like some of his mates. So keep on cuddling I say! Tell anyone who can't deal with it to go and jump. Kids love cuddles!
