A. This habit of eating walls, doors, etc. mostly arises in babies due lack of calcium and iron, but it would be better to first consult a pediatrician before giving any supplements. Meanwhile, you can try to distract or keep him busy in play or conversation to avoid it. Do not directly stop him and instead, make up stories to tell the harmful effects of it.
