 Your ex, in your view, is childish. When you dream of an ex when in a new relationship it is because you see certain features of your past relationship in the new relationship. Your brain draws similarities, to see patterns. Something about your ex's childish behaviour is reflected in your new boyfriend, and you need/dependent on this particular feature, so you follow it. Did you feel happy about following the toddler? If so then it can be a good sign of something new happening in your relationship. If you felt anxious or nervous/negative feelings when following the toddler then you are cautious of where this feature will lead you.
Whatever it is, you recognize it from your ex, and see it happening again now, in this new relationship, and this particular feature is crucial in the relationship, as you will follow it wherever it goes. Lets hope it brings you somewhere good.
If you find it to be alarming, take the relationship slow and not rush things. Wait to see if your new man truly does carry the same features of your ex, or if it was only a passing thing that reminded you of your ex.
Him being a toddler could mean both good and bad. If it is good the dream would be a happy one, as a child can resemble a new beginning, and life. Maybe feelings have begun to blossom and you start to love each other. However, it can also be a bad sign (dependent on how you felt in the dream). Him being a toddler could mean he carries child-like features, like irresponsibility, carelessness, selfishness etc.

 I had the same dream too...after eating too late the night before. Some people put a lot of stock into dreams. Some do not. I don't. It was just a dream, and nothing weird in my conscious life occurred afterward.

I think something must have triggered a memory of your ex. Perhaps you were walking around in the mall and you saw a baby. Right after, a memory of your ex sparked from whatever emotion came over you.
Then, that night, you dreamt of your ex as a toddler. That is my best explanation with the details you have provided.
