Little male put into bed, son getting kisses (6)
I believe the answer is:
smacks
'kisses' is the definition.
(smack is a kind of kiss)
'little male put into bed son' is the wordplay.
'little' suggests taking the first letters.
'put into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bed' becomes 'sack' (e.g. 'in the sack').
'son' becomes 's'.
The initial letter of 'male' is 'm'.
'm' put inside 'sack' is 'smack'.
'smack'+'s'='SMACKS'
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for smacks that I've seen before include "Slaps; flavours; boats" , "Strikes with the hand" , "Spanks" , "Punishes" , "Slaps the fishing boats?" .)
