They are different grammatically, but they mean the same thing.
"Peter talks like a baby." This sounds natural and normal. It is a simple statement in the indicative voice.
"Peter talks as if he were a baby." This is a hypothetical statement - Peter *is not* a baby but he talks *as if he were* a baby - in the subjunctive voice.

@Twinkletwinkle You're welcome. :)
Yes, "Peter talks like a baby" is more natural. That's the way it would usually be said.
(It can be said the other way, but that is unusual and uncommon.)
