It can be normal: Hopefully your daughter is physically well in general. If so, there is probably no reason to be particularly concerned. It is often normal for a sputtering start to happen before the pattern stabilizes. Bur a year is fairly long, so you might ask your doctor to check just to reassure you both. Best wishes!
