A. dear mom, babies who are around 24 months or younger often try to understand or have experience about their world around by using sight , smell , touch or taste. so young babies licking dirt is part of her development , which you should not be much worried about but yes , try and keep the floor As clean as possible. but if your little one is between 2 and 7 and she licks or eats dirt or chalk or anything unedible then these are the signs of iron deficiency or zinc which goes away once the levels of these metals in the body are restored.

A. I can understand that the situation can be really frustrating to see however it is very important to give repeated instructions that not to lick the floor as it is full of germs and infections...you will not see any positive results in initial first week but yes repeated instructions will definitely do the positive outcome.. from your and make sure that the floor is always clean and hygiene..
