First born getting a baby brother

My brothers and I are 3 years and 4 years apart. All 3 of us are super super close.

What’s cool is that they’ll grow up together and be in the same school and stuff, maybe even have the same friend group. But it depends on their personality. I think your first being that young, I would definitely expect some jealousy. You can help by giving him one on one time or go on mom/son dates, or having him help with newborn and making him feel included.

My brother and I were very close while growing up, since we’re 11 months apart. But the gender differences made it challenging (he wouldn’t let me play with him and the rest of his friends because I was a girl), and we have very different personalities and had different friends in high school. So we drifted.

When my little boy was born in November my other little boy was 2 and he absolutely loves him! They have the best bond already and he’s only 4 months! He’s not been jealous at all and misses him whenever he’s not around him! I’m sure they will be really close 🥰

My first son was also born in 2022 (July actually😂) and I just had my second in February. They’re 19 months apart, almost to the day, and even tho they are so young I can already tell that my oldest adores his baby brother. Sure he gets a little jealous when mommy can’t hold him cause I’m feeding the baby but honestly he just wants to hold him and he loves giving him kisses and trying to talk to him. Also my husband and his brother are 3 years apart and they were always very close until very recently that some stuff happened but that’s different 😅

My siblings and I were all 3 years apart from the next, we fought a lot but we mostly got along (rough kids tend to throw hands 😂) we get along great now as adults

My boys are 2 years and 3 days apart (Nov 8th 2021 and Nov 11th 2023) it took about 4 months for my oldest to start playing with his brother. Never jealous just very eh about the whole situation lol now he goes out of his way to kiss him goodnight and try to make him laugh

ooo girl you got a BUSY end of the year as far as occasions go 🤣 Halloween, 2 birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and then New Year’s 😂

yeah 😂 mother nature really showed me when I Said "we won't get pregnant first try" lol I should have known better the second time around 😂

Same here lmao. 19 month age gap 😅

Congratulations 🎉🎉
I want another baby really bad but someone said it's based on personality and my oldest baby isn't interested in sharing mom. AT ALL.

My firstborn was 20mo when our second was born, and honestly it terrified me for a minute when we brought him home. Firstborn was NOT a fan. They are now 3 and 18mo though, and the best of friends 🥰 It is so worth it to have them close in age! My brother and I were only 15mo apart and grew up as childhood best friends too, which is why I wanted a close sibling for our firstborn. Every child is so different in how they will react, but even if it’s not the most wistful experience to start out with just know it gets so much more amazing over time ❤️

My son is 11/22 and my next baby boy is due August - 20.5 month gap and I’m excited!! Any older siblings may have some Jealousy with the initial transition but I’d think it would be lesssss so the younger the first is??
