Don't worry JV2003.
my two boys are 23 months apart. They were both brestfed and they have been best brothers and friends ever since they were babies untill now they are in their teens.
Before my second son was born, I read books about how to take care of siblings. I forgot most of them but I remembered we have always told our children we love them and let them feel secured. Never take away anything they are using for the new born. For example, you are going to give the old baby crib which is used by the big brother to the new baby. And change a new bed for the older one. you should let the older one sleep in the new bed sometime before the new baby arrives. by doing this, the older one won't feel that the new brother or sister take away his belongs.
You always tell your older son how lucky he is going to have a new brother or sister and the new born will love him and play with him soon. During a day, spend some time only with your older son while your new baby is sleeping. Never tell him to go away while you are caring the new baby. Let him be around. Show him how you care the baby and tell him you did exactly the same thing for him when he was a baby. And he is a big boy now. Once he is secured, he will be very co-operative.
I always tell my older son that I love him more than his younger brother because the fact is that I've loved him two years longer than his brother. I am so proud that my older son loves his brother so much and he does a good job as a big brother. And I am so lucky my younger son loves being the youger brother and he enjoys being the younger one.
Relax. Love your children and they can feel your love and things will be easy.
Please let us know when your new baby have arrived and let us share your joy.
GOOD LUCK.

Just start my maternity leave for a few days & found that my elder son seems to like to 'stick' to me, e.g. always asks me to "make" him sleep. Understanding that it's normal because mama always ...
