Question about "Te amo"

Heidita and I had this exchange (on comment walls):

Heidita's vocabulary list: amar = to love (for couples)

Natasha said: Is amar really only for couples? I say to my baby all the time, "Te amo." Is it wrong?

Heidita said: Amar in Spain is almost never used. Especially not for family members. Only for couples and then very rarely.
I would find it very strange to hear somebody say to their baby: te amo.

================

What about in other countries? When would you say "te amo"? I am particularly interested in Mexican usage.
