What does it mean if my daughter 7 years old communicates baby talk with me?

Hi
I wanted to know if it is a good or bad sign that my daughter 7 years old, when she speaks with me, she does it in a baby talk tone.

She only does it when she speaks with me and I have asked and done some research that say that it is good because it denotes security, and bounding / attachment but also I have read that the child that does that is also using the speech in that way as result of pampering, ...also read something related with the parent that sets the rule.

does the fact of being a good or bad sign have to do with the tone the child uses?

I raised my daughter since my wife was the one that was working and i believe it is result of the bounding process developed when i was raising her; but i want to know if i have to re-adress this behavior or if it is ok to let her continue to communicate with me like that.
Thanks

Has she recently had a new sibling as sometimes children do this when they see their new baby getting plenty of attention. I don't think its a big concern, dont encourage it but dont be overly worried by it, let it take its course I have heard many children doing this it is a form of endearment in my opinion , so its not good or bad .I thinks its right that it does denote a caring attitude on her part..

Well,  it means she's getting rewarded or feels more comfortable with you acting like a helpless baby.  It doesn't denote security in my experience - exactly the opposite.  

If you want to stop it,  stop responding to her when she speaks like a baby.  Just say calmly that you will talk to her when she uses her big girl voice,  and ignore speech that is babytalk.   Like you literally can't hear it.

Best wishes.  Sorry to sound so harsh but somehow,  this baby behavior just flies all over me,  grates on my very last nerve.
