Thats fine, it won't hurt her to do that. Alot of cats do that as adults, even. They do it because it comforts them.

As long as she isn't sucking on the other kittens, it's fine.

Gosh, Bijou suckled on my neck for more than a year after we got him. It was a thing he always did before bedtime then he would settle down to sleep with me.
