ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician2 years agoA. Hello, It sounds like 'Pica'.
Pica is an eating disorder that is quite common among young ones..The disorder is defined as persistent and compulsive cravings to eat nonfood items....It is due to calcium or iron deficiency in babies... please do check with your paedritician and management accordingly.
