Anyone have an overly touchy/feely child?

Does anyone know if you need a referral to an OT?

My DS is only 20months but this sounds a lot like him! He's a very touchy kid, always climbing on me, in my face and giving me sloppy kisses. I was wondering if I wasn't giving him enough attention or what, but maybe this is just his sense of preference? He likes to touch. Sometimes if DP is pushing the pram he likes me to walk beside him and hold his hand. Even if he's sitting beside me on the lounge, he has to have his legs on me or my arm around him.

Thanks for posting this! I feel like I can make sense of what I thought was just high maintenance behaviour.
