spayed dog very maternal

my 3 year old baby has gotten a new toy for christmas, and has become very maternal with it. she is treating it as her puppy. i am aware that this is normal with an un-spayed dog, but she has been spayed. i took it from her, as she was aggressive towards me and our other dog.. but am feeling guilty, as she is searching for it. should i give it back? will she eventually put it down and leave it alone?
thanks

Panda has a baby that she sucks on every night..look under my camera...she has been doing this since we brought her home...maternal, I dont know...security..definately....aggressive behavior is the added element...is she aggressive with her food too? You may have to retrain her to get her to reaffirm that youre the alpha.....
