Q.

#asktheexpert hello doctor! I want to ask one of the habit of my 16 month old boy, recently he has developed a very weird habit of eating paint from bed, iron almirah, iron railing...anything which has a paint covering. and he also craves for soap, whenever he sees soap in bathroom he immediately pick it up and eat it deliberately. please tell, is this normal for this age, or is this something else..?? .

A. There is a thing called PICA in which a child would like to eat every thing which is in edible and sometimes it could be due to major deficiency of calcium so both the things are very commonly associated with the habit of your child you need to check with your doctor for this
