Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi.... I understand your concern. As she has started doing it suddenly, I feel that she has picked it up on seeing some other kid doing it at the daycare.

Usually this is the most common cause of kids picking up habit like this.
She will forget and be out of it. Don't worry.
