New sibling adjustment

Just had my lb 2 weeks ago and my 2 year old has been great with him up until today. She’s been obsessed with kissing him, talking to him, helping out etc and always loved the babies at nursery/ her dolls. But out of nowhere today, as she was kissing him, he cried out- nothing unusual and she freaked out and every time he’s made a noise since she’s been hysterical!! It’s like she’s petrified of him now and won’t go near him. I fully expected her to struggle with having a sibling as she is such a mummy’s girl and is really attached to me. I’m just not sure what’s happened?! Is it an attention thing? Is she just overtired and going through a lot of emotions? She has just moved up into the bigger room at nursery which she is enjoying but I do think she has found overwhelming. Anyways just wondering if anyone else has experienced their toddler crying whenever the new baby cries and how long did it last?!

Mine copies the baby crying. It's very loud lol. She just wants to be babied so I give her a dummy or a bottle 🍼 and then she's happy lol

@Sarah aw bless her, I’ll try babying her a bit more tomorrow and see if that helps! It’s like she’s terrified, she clings to my neck and doesn’t let go! Praying it was just a one off day 🥲
