My third nephew

Generally, when I don't wanna do things I'm asked to do, I tell them that I might be doing it wrong and ask them to show me how. That way, they'll be doing the stuff themselves. This always works if the person who asked you is still in a good mood. If she's already irrate and you're supposed to do it because it's your job then you'd better get it done.

Hey don't feel bad. People have some fears of things like I for example hate touching fragile little figures because I'm afraid I would break them :) But a baby isn't that fragile because it can get out at birth and the doctor can pull it out and not break it (haha) I think it would handle your touch as long as you don't use any force on it. So don't feel bad and just do what you are asked of because better learn it now than ask somebody for help when you'll be in a situation with a baby by yourself.

don't take this negatively, but this is just like returning the favor to your aunt. i am not sure if she had took care of you when you were a baby, but i am sure, your time will come when you will also ask favor from your new nephew, when he gets old and you have your own family.

Don't worry. you shouldn't feel horrible if you tend to be impatient with your newborn nephew. I myself had moments of impatience with my own infants. I felt like I was enslaved for a moment. hahaha. and then I realize it's my duty and responsibility. Having someone helping in taking care of the baby usually does the trick and lifts my spirits. I'm glad you helped though. Think of it as a practice before you have your own babies in the future!

you are not bad, It's just that you are not comfortable in doing that thing.

Don't feel bad. A lot of people are uncomfortable with babies. I know I never was a baby person, until I had one of my own, then I only liked to do things for my baby. Also I know I don't respond well when people are telling me to do things, especially if the thing isn't something that I want to do in the first place. I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't mean that you don't care for your nephew, you just didn't care for the situation that your Aunt was putting you in.

I guess that it would depend upon the circumstances, such as why she needed you to do it instead of doing it herself and how much experience you have had with babies. I know that after childbirth, there are some things that new moms need help with depending upon how the birth went and if they have stitches or physical restrictions. If that is the reason, then I think that you should help as much as possible, since she could seriously injure herself if she does not follow the doctor's orders. If she has other children that she is caring for and that is why she can't take care of the baby, then perhaps you could offer to help with the older children if you feel more comfortable with them, and that would allow her to take care of the baby.
