Our DD6 went through this too. I think it was definitely linked to her realizing that she could speak better than everyone else at her preschool. In fact, she could imitate all of the other students with their particular accents too! (We were living overseas at the time). We went to speaking in these other accents as an alternative to her baby talk. It helped some, but didn't compeltely make it go away. Even now she does it sometimes, but if she notices I'm getting irritated with her she will say "I suppose I should probably stop talking like a baby now so you don't go crazy, right Mom?"
