She found her lips!: Your baby girl has discovered her lips. She has begun a lifetime of exploration of herself and her world. She'll stop when she gets older and bored of her lips. No cause for alarm. Enjoy these baby years, soon she'll be older and you will miss these days. Good luck!

3mo old's no fetish: If the child was appreciably older i'd tell her it's O.K., but do that privately. (we don't want to draw attention or confuse the child as in disapproval, however, this is an infant! and it's not yet a habit or fetish.).
