Suckling to sleep

My little one fights daytime naps but this week she's baby suddenly started suckling my neck and arms when i start rocking her to sleep, it seems suckling is the only one at she'll relax and switch off  (ps I rock her till she's dosey not fully asleep) I know she's well fed so it's not for hunger, is this normal behavior? Should I be giving her a pacifier? (I'd rather not get into that habit but if it'll help her sleep??
