he answer is probably somewhere in between.
On the one hand, physical affection is important, especially for children. It is something they should receive and something they should observe. There have been enough studies on babies and children in orphanages to prove that a child who does not receive physical affection can develop behavioral, emotional and even physical problems. On the other hand, just touching with no real affection backing it up is not enough. A child who feels loved responds to that love. A child who is unloved cannot be made to feel loved through artificial means, though they may alleviate the pain somewhat.
Adult seismographs are subtler. Adults can discern affection that is offered in other ways, such as through looks, the voice and actions. These things are important to children as well but they must still feel physical sensations, whether through holding, hugging or stroking. It is also important, if we want them to grow up to be affectionate, warm adults, that they observe that kind of behavior between their parents.
Sometimes it is not possible. In a single parent family, for instance, the child will probably not observe his mother or father being physically affectionate with a partner. It becomes therefore that much important that he does see him/her hugging friends or relatives. These primary images of warmth between people remain with children for a lifetime.
So whether or not you’re a passionate partner, try to be a passionate parent. Our bonding years with our children are limited. Make the most of them

I have been with the same woman for over ten years, and we have two children together. When we first got together we went at it like cats and dogs, we would have sex at least 6-7 times a week, but after two children and ten years with each other our sex life has cooled down somewhat. We still find time to have sex 2-4 times a week, so it is normal for this to happen, just as long as your sex life isn't totally no existent then it is OK, your baby should be the main focus for a while, but try to find time for love making as well.

Because your new passion is your child you have created together!
You should've known this before you got pregnant! (As well as heaps of other stuff, of course!)

communicate with eachother. communicate, argue if needed. Do toddler stuff mutually. you may understand each and each others emotional situation. the keenness will return, yet this may well be a try of the potential of your dating and your verbal replace skills.
