Dealing with jealousy

jf198400

My baby is 4months old and suddenly DD seems very jealous.  DD is 23 months and has always been a very happy, super laid back kid.  She loves her little brother and we didnt have any jealousy issues until recently.  Now she wants mommy all the time (she was such a daddy's girl before).  She wakes up from nap and cries for me, she keeps crying if daddy is the one to come get her.  She wants me to do bath and bedtime (this was dad's job ever since DS was born).  She wants to be carried more.  And the worst part is when I'm nursing DS she comes ever and wants to sit on my lap.  I try to get her to sit next to me instead and she freaks out.

I don't know why this is happening now, is it her age?  I've been really trying to spend extra time with her, especially doing bath and bedtime, but I'm getting burnt out.  I'm EBFing DS so obviously I have to be the one to feed him and get him to sleep.  I feel like I have to do all the work myself and its getting exhausting.  I don't know if I should just power through until this phase passes.  Or is there some way I can help her accept Daddy doing these things again?  I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement that this will get better soon.
