It's probably your friend's new baby that triggered it. She sees the baby getting a lot of attention and wants to be babied again. One of my neices did that too when my daughter was born.
Try telling her all the things babies can't do. For example, if she likes pizza & ice cream, you can say, "babies can't eat pizza and ice cream." Then, she'll say "I can do that!" You can follow with, "but I thought you were a baby?" Hehe. Or she might say, "do you want to play catch with this ball?" Then you say, "Babies can't throw balls." Hehe. Who knows? She might say, "I'm not a baby anymore." Lol

It's probably your friend's baby who's started this off. It's quite normal and usual for a toddler to go through this phase so don't worry. She's probably noticed how much attention the new baby gets and thinks she'd like some of that, thanks very much mommy! So just indulge her for as long as she wants. She will get over it eventually.

I would let this go. It shows she feels loved and secure.

The kid can "insist" all she wants. You are the adult and you need to act like it.
