My nephew doesn't seem to like me since I've had my newborn baby girl

So my nephew is 2 years old and before would love to play with me whenever they came over and be all happy with me but ever since I’ve had my baby girl when they come over he ignored me or doesn’t respond to me when I try to interact with him, but he’s not been like this with anyone else. I feel sad about it as before we got on so well! Has anyone had this before?

It’s jealousy, perfectly normal, give it a few months

I feel like 2 years old is peak jealousy age.
Don’t worry, he’ll get over it in time.

He is 2. His behaviours are not rationalised in any way beyond an immediate response to stimuli. I'm sure before your daughter was born his behaviour was not consistent. It will be fine. Remember at the moment he probably thinks he is a cat.
