A member asked:
What do you suggest if my grandson eats fabric fibres and now is eating the wooden window sill. is this cause by a dietary deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common : Children will chew on and ingest many things - some which we find icky. Hopefully your window sill is not painted with lead based paint. Usually there is not a dietary deficiency although this can reflect an iron deficiency. Your child should not be severely punished for this and will outgrow it.
