I didn't really like being held. When I was a newborn, I also hated being put in my parents' bed to sleep; I would apparently arch my back and scream. Then when they put me in the crib I was fine.
Once I learned how to walk, I disliked being held even more.
Of course I know this only through what my parents have told me.

I thought Autistic babies didn't like being held? My mum said that I wasn't very cuddly as a baby. But when I was older I always loved to hold my mum's hand when walking, even at 10. But I don't consider that as an Aspie thing, I just think that's me.

I am emotionally clingy to my mum now. If I know I am going to be with her a lot the next day, I can sleep better the night before. But I think this is because I am anxious and feel that people are out to get me, and that I feel secure with my mum.

That depends on the baby. My daughter will jump and/or hiss at me if I touch her unexpectedly. She doesn't like hugs from anyone other than family.
