Nipple sucking kitten

We have a kitten that sucks on her own nipples a lot. She likes to do it when she is happy and purring. Is this normal, and will she grow out of it?

    My kitten loved to suckle a fuzzy blanket; the nubs of fuzz probably felt like nipples to her. She slowly stopped doing it, and, about a year ago, when I'd try to leave it out for her, she'd drag it and leave it at the entrance to her litter box. That seemed as good a sign as any that she'd outgrown it.

    The suckling impulse seems pretty normal. I think I'd just monitor her to make sure she's not biting her nipples or suckling them raw.
