Kids will continue to go through this 'velcro baby' phase for the rest of their childhood.

My older son was brought up in a very loving environment and has turned out a very affectionate little man - which is fantastic, despite people always saying that too much love/affection/attention would turn him into a 'sissy-boy'

Kids are a reflection of us as parents - how wonderful it feels to hear people comment on how loving he is, knowing full well that he eminates that loving from being in a loving home-environment.

You can never show kids too much love / affection and attention - they thrive on it.
