Well, it could be related to a strong desire to start over. Maybe the character in the story is unhappy with her current life as an adult. She might long for the simplicity and unconditional love that a baby girl experiences. So, her subconscious mind makes her age regress. Additionally, in some fantasy stories, it could be a curse. A jealous witch or an evil entity might put a curse on a girl, making her turn into a baby girl as a form of punishment or just for their own malicious amusement.
One reason could be extreme stress. In a story, a character might face so much pressure from work, relationships, or other aspects of life that her mind unconsciously reverts to a more innocent and carefree state like that of a baby girl. Another reason could be a magical or supernatural event. For example, a spell or a strange encounter with a magical being could cause the age regression.
