A. it is better to visit a pediatrician and get your child examined for any kind of deficiency. This is treatable and some times kids have cravings for things of no nutritional value. visit a doctor.

A. Hi parent It's normal But don't give her packaged and processed food , maida items, excess sugar and salt. Don't use RO water as it's demineralized Use simply purified water having TDS higher than 350 Give her more probiotics millets and citrus fruits
