Hi,
Thank you very much for your correction.

To be jealous of other people is easy to understand. But to be jeaous of one's baby is not easy to understand.

e.g. He was talking to Nina to make me jealous.
jealous husband/wife/lover etc
3 jealous of something formal wanting to keep or protect something that you have because you are proud of it:
e.g. a country jealous of its heritage
Good Luck
