Infantilism: This is not an uncommon issue. Paraphilic Infantilism can involve wearing diapers, sucking on a pacifier, behaving like an infant. DSM 5 identifies is as a normal variant in behavior. Counseling is only indicated if the practices interfere with normal activities and responsibilities such as relationships, school, homework, extracurriculars. You do not have to play along if you are not comfortable
