Older child regressing after sibling attention, or is this something else?

My daughter (born Sept '21) was fully potty trained and independent, but lately, she’s started using 'baby talk' and demanding I feed her just like I do with my 2-year-old son. She even had a potty accident today for the first time in over a year.

Am I missing something? Is this just sibling jealousy, or should I be worried about a developmental setback?

I would separate the ‘incidents’ - baby talk etc yes she is just looking for attention probably, it doesn’t necessarily mean she is regressing as such. The potty accident is a GP issue to rule out infection.
