Hi,
I have a 14month old daughter who just loves to shovel sand into her mouth when at Playgroup and the beach etc. Someone told me it is because she is lacking some vitamin (probably iron). She is a very fussy eater of solids and still has about 4 breastfeeds a day. Has anyone else heard of this or any other theories as to why she eats sand. The sand comes out when she has a pooy nappy.
Thanks all
