classic call for "look at me"
He just wants more love and attention. Ignoring it or making fun of it or telling him to stop won't help
noticing him more often will help. Like really seeing him and his needs and feelings

Especially if there are any other new regressive behaviors like crawling, or other new behaviors like fears, anxieties, phobias food pickiness, bathroom accidents, sleep regression, meltdowns, tantrums, obsessions, rigidity, tics, hyperactivity, I would look into pandas.

I am a SAHM and he is my baby so yes, he gets plenty of attention! I shmooz with him,
I hug him, my husband usually spends about 20min with him every night at bedtime... Still this is a good reminder. I will try to give him that "extra".

I kind of wondered about this... although I didn't notice anything specific. Could baby talk be a tic? I try hard to ignore it, but sometimes I ask him calmly to please say that normally, explaining that I can't understand him. And it's like he forgot how to talk normally, struggling to get the words out clearly!

How were they diagnosed and treated? From what I've heard pandas always seems so vague
