We can contribute a child's oral fixation to Freudian theory - known as the first of Freud's biologically determined drives. The core drive is sexual - broadly defined to include sensations that involve excitation or tension and satisfaction or release. The focus of the sexual drive shifts with maturation: oral stage (as found in infancy and toddlerhood); oedipal stage (pre-school); and, the genital stage (puberty and beyond). Though as you may be well aware, controversy has always been associated with Freudian theories.
