She was nice in the past because he looked like (was) a baby to her. Now she thinks he's a little kid, and she isn't old enough to realize he's that much younger than she is. She, herself, is pretty much still a baby; so if he's in her way or too close or whatever else he does she is likely to hit him or push him.
A one-year-old isn't old enough to know to stay away from her, so for about the next year this will be a problem until she's old enough to really understand why its wrong and control herself.
I think all you can do is not leave the two of them unattended and be ready to intervene the minute you see the baby headed over to her. I think you should make sure she can play without having the baby interfere. Keep their car seats far enough away from the others' in the car too. Enjoy being with the two of them, but without a making a big deal of it just arrange everyone in a way that allows each of them their own space (and if you keep one on each side of you when you can each will feel close to you and uninfringed on by the other).
Right now, they're both just too little to understand or to deal with "social" things; so make sure the baby is not left at the mercy of of a child who is too young to really understand that she could hurt him. You don't want his first year or two of exposure to "the world" to involve feeling as if he gets smacked around and hurt for no reason that he can fathom.

in case you have toddlers to some distance aside, they do no longer seem to be pals. they do no longer play at the same time, have any of a similar pals, and are not very close emotionally or actual. they do no longer argue. in case you have toddlers close at the same time in age, they fuss, combat, yell, play at the same time, comprehend each and each others pals, study to journey motorcycles at the same time, play video games at the same time, study to take turns, coach one yet another, help one yet another, take care of one yet another, and love one yet another greater advantageous than everyone else. the 1st occasion I gave you have been my own 2 toddlers who have been 5 years aside. the 2nd occasion I gave you, are my daughters toddlers. Their a while are 6, 5, 3 and twin boys born in April. The 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous is the only female. The 6 and 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds facilitates the three 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous do issues he has worry with. You tell the 6 and 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds to %. up toys and the three 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous will say "i visit do it, i'm a brilliant boy". all of them 3 will no longer be able to do sufficient for their infant brothers. They feed them a bottle, circulate get burb cloths or a toy. They seek advice from them and chuckle with them. they're noisy, they're relaxing, while one does something nicely the others brag on them. that's a 5 ring circus with something continually happening and the toddlers love having one yet another to play with, carry out performs with, sing at the same time and the mum and dad and grand determine like it to boot. purely you comprehend which kind kinfolk you will particularly have. purely you additionally could make that decision.

I run into that with grands. All you can do is watch and grab her before she makes contact. Then you need to tell her to be nice. She is little, but she understands. She may pretend she don't but then pretending ignorance is how little ones get over on the big guys.
My one yr. old grand daughter has learned and knows she is to be nice to others. little ones know and understand more than we give them credit for.

You can't.
It's called sibling rivalry. It's normal. It actually teaches them survival skills for later in life. Kinda like tiger cubs fighting and playing.
