hi,
thanks for your question. most joint clicks if non painful are innocent, this included clicks in infants and children's hips.
if your daughter has tightness or a contracture in her hip however this is a sign of a potentially serious problem and she should be seen and assessed by a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon and have her hips Xrayed.
I hope this answers your question.
best wishes
