Answer: Hi

According to Sigmund Freud there are different stages of sexual development which a human passes through  
The first stage is said to be the oral stage and is seen in the first year of life where the child derives pleasure from inserting objects into their mouth 
This perhaps explains the issue with your daughter It is expected 

I would advise that you take several preventive measures into ensuring that objects that can cause harm are placed out of her reach Extreme care should be taken of particularly small objects which may be swallowed and cause medical emergency 

If you have noticed any other associated problem I would advise seeking the help of a specialist for a full evaluation 

Kind regards
