Pica is an eating disorder that is quite common at this age. The disorder is defined as persistent and compulsive cravings to eat nonfood items....It is due to calcium or iron deficiency in babies... continue what all supplements with educated your baby to don't having all these. please do check with your paedritician and management accordingly.
