Aashiya khanGuardian of a 4 yr 6 m old girl3 years agoA. Children playing with soil and putting everything in their mouths is quite a natural thing. Eating soil may seem quite natural ...
Eating soil can often be due to nutritional deficiencies in children. Some doctors believe that children eating soil can indicate calcium deficiency.
So no need to worry, they will wean out on their own. This varies from child to child.
