Trilingual child

Our 6 year old daughter functions in three languages every day(Azeri with her mom,Russian with me and English at school + tv).Can this be detrimental in any way?

Not at all. Quite the opposite - it will give her massive advantages in future life. In many societies it is essential to function in 3 or more languages in everyday lfe - one at home, one at junior school and a third at senior school.
I know a couple of teenagers who have spoken Italian, English and French every day since they could talk. It hasn't harmed them in any way; but they tell me they feel different to other kids. Is that detrimental?

comme ils disent plus de langues

Thank you all for your prompt, positive and encouraging remarks.My other daughter(teenager) is also trilingual and yes,she does feel different since all of her friends know only 1 language.
kujawski-We visited Poland this year(Gdansk,Gdynia and Sopot).We loved it so much,we want to go again.I loooved how those consonants managed without vowels in forming long words(eg WPSPRZEDAZ).
