A. dear mom. craving for non edible things is typically PICA, which results due to mineral deficiency. better to get her examined by your doctor for further evaluation all the very best

A. Chewing or sucking on clothes and other non-food items may sometimes be associated with iron deficiency or other nutritional deficiencies. Please consult a pediatrician and get the child evaluated. The doctor may recommend blood tests if needed. Avoid scolding the child and gently redirect them to safe activities. 😊
