Its a condtion called pica. My son is two and eats boxes, shoes, books,paper, carpet fibers, lint, mud...the list goes on. It can be many things. If she is craving oral stimulation, the items give different pressure as she chews and it feels good. some kids do it because they are stressed and its the one way to relieve it, and last some kids lack a vitamin/mineral (usually iron) in their diet. So they search for things that may contain what their body needs. I would take her to the doctor and express your concerns. ↑ |
