Why does nick think questions about daisy’s little girl would be “sedative”

In that passage of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" Nick thinks that questions about Daisy's little girl would be "sedative" because they would tranquilize or soothe Daisy.

He sees that she is distressed, with her face buried in her hands after the dinner being interrupted by the phone ringing.
