My two year old is a total mama's girl. When I was pregnant with my third I was worried but things turned out fine.. but now nearly a year later, she's started repressing. She was done petty training, I mean had it down, now were lucky if she goes once a day. She has a wide vocabulary from watching her older sister learn. Now she taps and points. She asks for diapers and says she wants to be a baby. Im not sure where this behavior is coming from, because I was babysitting a little girl who's mother completely babies her, and well like I said my youngest is nearly one now. I don't know what action to take from here, I mean do I enable her baby like attitude and risk it staying, or do I show my disapproval and risk her feelung unaccepted by me her mother the one who will always see her as my baby and loves her unconditionally.

It sounds like she's jealous of the new baby and wants to be just like her. Or else she feels left out, because she's no longer the only child.

As a guess, your daughter notices that certain behaviours garner more attention. To combat this, radiate approval through compliments, smiles and hugs when she uses words to clearly express her needs. Same goes for using the potty. When she wants a diaper, refuse in a matter of fact manner suggesting the potty and ignore bad behaviours.
