N is now 18 months old and he does get jealous. It isn't too bad but he wants mommy all the time which is challenging when I am nursing E. I have a lot of help so when I am done nursing E I make a point to play with N. Also I have N read to E and myself while I am nursing, that way he feels included. N likes to help, so I try to give him a job.

He freaking loves her. 17.5 months apart. I get ready to load him in the car and he automatically goes over to kiss her by without me telling him. His first words in the morning are usually baby!

She was obsessed with her baby sis, but no jealousy.

No siblings here (yet) but I am babysitting a 7 month old and Tor is very jealous and not great about it. He is also out through a lot of general separation anxiety though right now.

Following this since lo #1 was 3 1/2 when #2 was born so she was very understanding and excited, never jealous. #2 will be about 28 months when #3 comes so I feel like she is going to be more jealous.

DS1 absolutely loves his younger brother. They are 2.5 years apart. He had a difficult transition at first since we were no longer able to give him our undivided attention. It took about a week for him to adjust and figure out this whole baby living with our family thing. DS1 is so sweet towards DS2. Makes my heart melt.

The first ten days or so were pretty rough. Lots of tantrums and being a bit too physical with the baby.

However, now she is obsessed with her sister. Like, loves her to pieces. It's so fun to watch.

I was so nervous about this! We are 2 weeks in and my 20 mo hasn't missed a beat! He mostly ignores the existence of his little sister, but occasionally stops to give her a kiss or something. She is a pretty low maintenance baby so I think that helps!
