my little cousin eats a lot of hair! she's 3, by the way.
we've tried to get her to stop, but no avail. my aunts taken her to the doctor too. and he just said to make her stop. but she wont stop! so is it really dangerous to munch on hair?

if you want her to stop, cut her hair short till she out-grows the tendency

When my daughter was around that age, she would put her hair in her mouth, and kind of suck on it! It was really gross- what's worse is when I would change her diaper and there be long hairs in it!! Anyway, I would just keep her hair back in a ponytail, pig tails, or braids. Then she won't be able to get it into her mouth.
Unfortunately, this is probably just another bad habit that this toddler will eventually outgrow. Try not to draw too much attention to it, and the bad habit might end sooner.

i imagine so... i discussed a case at ripley's trust it or no longer, of someone who merely ate her hair... each and every of the hair that she ate formed a ball and took the variety of her abdomen. she suffered from severe stomachaches. the hair that she had ate change into seen on her tummy for the period of a clinical attempt performed through a doctor... seek for suggestion from from ripley's trust it or no longer web site for more beneficial information!

get a second opinion go to a diff doctor for advice. or get her busy with other things to eat like vegetable there are vegetable that are very thin and looks like hair just look for those and say its more delicious then hair.

Naw, mot really. My kid used to eat dog food.
Other than bark and howl at the mailman, she's a fine adult now.

Its gross, just like biting ones nails or chew in the end of a pen cap when you are nervous.
