My sister LOVES her children too. She still neglected them. My 5 year old nephew wasn't going to school, the 2 year old was found down the street playing on the rail road naked. Does that mean she doesn't love them? No. She just wasn't physically caring for them.
You can love someone all you want, but children need physical care. The older you get the less actual attention you need. Like when you're a teen, your parents telling you they love you 10 times a day won't do you much good, but if your parents supported you, helped you with school, helped you get your license, get into college, etc, that'd be more beneficial. But for babies and kids... its different. A little kid loves being told by their parents that they love them. They love hugs, and little time together. As a teen, you don't need to necessarily spend time with them, but knowing they're concerned about you and want you to prosper is enough.
Babies need to be held, fed, personal mother time, time to get attached, attention, a baby can't think "I only get held 45 minutes a day and I have to wait an hour crying my lungs out while mommy feeds my other brothers and sisters, but thats okay, at least she loves me." A baby needs what a baby needs, and they will cry for what they need. Not even a 7 year old can comprehend that.
