I have never changed a diaper and babies scare the daylights out of me! It isn't the mess certainly.... I have cleaned up worse messes on animal butts.

But babies immediately fuss when I hold them. I don't know how to communicate with babies I guess.... tiny babies don't like me, but older kids do.

If babies scare you, that's why they fuss. Their instincts are much more finely tuned than older folks. I was very intimidated by infants until I had my own, but when my nephew came around, I had no choice but to adapt!

Next time you get trapped with a baby, treat her or him like a small and frightened pup and you'll see the difference in their behavior. I treated newborn Daniel like that and guess what?

Worked for me!
