Find out from your aunt (or the parents)
what type of sleep/feeding schedule the
baby is on that way it is easier to
predict what is wrong when the time comes.
Also find out how the baby likes to be
soothed, with what works and what doesn't.
2 month old are easy to entertain so
usually if they are awake, dry, and happy,
just talking with them or giving them
something to hold onto (if they can) makes
them happy. Find out what things he/she
likes more then others. As long as you
are provided with accurate information, it
wont be that bad =0)
