Wow..heh heh heh
Didn't think I meet an intellectual superior in this discussion! Hats off!
True, many would argue that an infant's actions are based on a feral need to be taken care of--however, I believe that love is one of the few "true" emotions (unlike lust or greed which is a combination of other basal emotions) that humans are born knowing.
I'll have to re-read you guy's posts here and do some contemplating. Perhaps you are right--I just like to think that the more love I give, the more is out there in my sphere of influence to grab 
Props for turning this into an INTERESTING discussion!

I think that what we learn through limbic resonance "training" in infancy, is more the ability to consciously experience love.
Socioemotional development in infants is also fascinating to me because I am raising two wonderful, complex boys. I have seen them develop the ability to consciously give love, and find it very rewarding to participate in the process. 
As to your idea of "the more you give, the more you find," I believe that we are always surrounded by and filled with the energy we describe as love. When we relax and open to others, we are capable of conducting more of this energy through our selves. When we are tense and desperate, seeking love, demanding love, we tighten up until only a trickle of energy flows through.

Generally I agree and that is enough to act on.

You know guys...I just told my buddy on the phone;
"It seems people have such differing views...and it's all due to personal perspective. Even when I try and define how giving relates to recieving love--there are many ideas..but they are all many ideas all about the same concept, worded diffrently and seen slightly diffrently.."
Woahh..need to lay off the sativas methinks. . .

I think with the baby discussion the same is true as what as been said through out the thread, "You reap what you sow" "You get what you give" "do unto others..." "in order to be loved you have to love" Why is that different for babys? I mean a mother and father often will love there child so the child can and will love back, hand that baby to a stranger, or give someone a baby they dont know, will they love it? Im think more along the lines children are less deluded by negative influences.

Not to forget those, who need love the most, those with lack of it... And perhaps there lies a clue, if you give love to those, their 'opening up' may be perceived as love by us ?
