POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. It's quite common for toddlers around 2 years old to explore the world by putting things in their mouths—this is part of how they learn about textures and objects. However, if your daughter is trying to eat non-food items like walls or other things, it could be due to curiosity, boredom, teething discomfort, or sometimes a condition called pica, where children eat non-food items.
To handle this, keep small or harmful objects out of her reach, redirect her attention with safe toys or snacks, and offer plenty of engaging activities. Make sure she’s getting a balanced diet with enough nutrients, especially iron and zinc, as deficiencies can sometimes cause pica. If this behavior continues or worsens, or you notice other symptoms, consult your pediatrician for evaluation and guidance.
