My son is 20 months, and he gets upset if I pay even a small amount of attention to someone else's child.  I can only imagine how confusing and difficult it is for them if that new baby comes to live with you, and takes mommies attention.  The other's are right, this is most likely jealousy and him feeling insecure.  Make sure you set aside special time for just you and him.  Let me "help" with the new baby and keep him as involved as possible.  And I do agree...sending him to his room, even if not a punishment, probably does come across to him that way.  Toddlers need lots of patience and love, and infants have a way of taking up all of your time.  This will pass.  Just keep reassuring him and spending lots of time with him.

To him it is a punishment , it will pass and the more you are calm and loving with him and Dad is involved the better. Its very tough on the eldest when a new baby comes along especially when he is still really a baby himself .Be patient , be calm , I think sending him to his room is not a good idea , in fact at this young age you must be putting him in his room, does he not try to come out ?

Punishments wont work with such a young child , he is upset ,he sees the baby getting more attention , he is still a baby himself , is Dad involved maybe when you have the newest baby he could play with the 1 year old .Give him one to one time ,dont send a 1year old to his room , how is that possible ?

Just jealous of the new baby.  He is used to being the one who got all the attention.  Give him time to warm up to the new baby.
