A. We do keep our house clean.. sweeping and mopping happens everyday and I personally keep sweeping whenever there is a small mess... but still she manages to find that one strand from somewhere... we did check with doctor and he said to add iron drops to her daily diet but even after all these, I find it difficult to completely stop her from doing it. just wanted to know if anyone else has faced such an issue... and how they managed... trying my best to distract her attention to other things like toys or utensils or some finger foods... any other useful tips are welcome... thanks
