From my experience being a good aunt to a newborn is about being a good support to the parents. No sleep, a lot of pain and short fuzes will lead to a high stress environment for the parents and the newborn baby. Give the parents some love and support and you will be creating a calm and loving environment for the newborn baby.
I have two sisters each with two children. My role as an aunt started during each pregnancy. I took it upon myself to be their support person. I spent my days off work at their houses helping to clean, cook and spend some quite time with their older children. It's also important to be a bit of councilor to the soon-to-be mum - she's tired and stressed and emotional and may need someone to talk to.
When a baby is born it's important to fully understand the needs of the parents. Do they want people in their house to help? Offer to stay over and be the live in maid for a few days. They may not want people hanging around so you can offer to pick up their washing and return it back to them ironed.
Always turn up with food - the last thing either parent can be bothered to do is cook. Offer to take any of the other children out for the day to give them some personal attention and their parents a break. Offer to change, hold, feed or wash the newborn baby - this will be a chance for you to bond and for the parents to have a much needed shower or nap.
It's important to listen to the parents - if someone is trying to organize a get-together at their house two days after the birth and the mother is not coping, it's nice if someone recognizes that, asks if they would like to reschedule and makes the arrangements if they do.
By listening to and supporting the parents you will be helping the newborn baby. There's not much use taking a 4 day old baby to the zoo or getting them an ice cream - that will come later. I think the job of an aunt to a newborn is to love the new little baby, seek opportunities to bond with him/her and above all else be a support to the parents.
