What can i do to stop eating baby powder (serious question, possible pica)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pica: Read the accompanying article. See your family practitioner to have various nutritional deficiencies ruled out and then see a behavioral therapist for psychotherapy and a psychiatrist for a full diagnostic evaluation and treatment of any other psychiatric condition that may be present. Best wishes. En.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/pica_(disorder).
