Hello. My 2 year old just started pulling out her hair and putting it in her mouth and chewing on it about a weak ago. It happens mostly when she is tired or before a nap or bedtime when she is in her crib. I am worried about hair building up in her body as she already has stomach issues (GERD). Any advice? Thank you/
Hi...this is something really to be concerned. You need to make him stop the behavior immediately. This can form trichobezoars in the intestines, that means a hairball forming in the intestine and the kid can even go into intestinal obstruction. I suggest while she is about to sleep, to put a full glove covering all her fingers' OS that she cannot put hair in the mouth. Regards -
