Request a DNA test to determine if you are the father.
If you have a doubt about your paternity of your girlfriend's newborn, ask that you take a DNA test. If you have questions about how you would go about establishing, or defending against, paternity of the child, you need to talk to an attorney that is experienced in the field of Family Law.
