take her to a pediatrician. Maybe she has some sort of deficiency. I have heard of people craving clay and sulphur and that is often the reason. It's the first I have ever heard of anyone chewing wood. Maybe she did it while she was teething and liked the way it felt and has developed the habit. Tell ur sister if possible to get a nail biting liquid and paint it on the places she is most likely to chew to disuade her.

Eating wood is a very bad habit and should NOT be allowed to continue.
From the small (splinters in the mouth and esophagus) to the large (perforated intestines, stomachs, or obstructed bowels), the problems with this behavior are simply too numerous to list.
You need to stop your daughter from doing this and take her to
her Dr. and explain what's she's doing.

i could deliver her to the healthcare professional - you're precise, this seems extra desirable than purely a factor. Her being choosy is one element (maximum babies circulate by an exceedingly choosy section) yet while it rather is needless to say affecting her average well-being i could get her regarded at asap. They do make a multi-nutrition for babies. Our 2 twelve months previous take the Flintstones for infant supplementations from Walmart. i've got by no skill individually tried Pediasure, yet appears like it does not injury to furnish it a circulate. V8 Fusion juice has an entire serving of vegetables and end bring about each serving - that ought to help get the supplementations and energy in there, too.

When I was that age, my mom told me I was always chewing on coal....my brothers had a thing for dog food and dirt. It's the body craving certain minerals/vitamins I believe.

I used to chew on the wood headboard of my bed when I was little. My mom told me that the Dr. told her that it was a nervous reaction.

tell you what, i came across a kid licking walls & eating chalk! When I quizzed our doctor, he said it's caused because of something present in the wall (or chalk) that the kid lacked. So its instincts told it to go lick the wall.
My conclusion: your niece lacks fibre.

She has a disorder called PICA, its abnormal, and she should be discouraged, and rewarded if she changes her habit or does something else she enjoys.
