My son eats a lot of paper

Guest · Guest

Hello everybody,

My 2 years old son has a strange habit of eating paper (tissue papers, news paper, books, pamphlets etc etc). In the beginning, he just used to chew it for sometime and then throw it away. But recently he has started swallowing it. Because of this habit, he has developed constipation and his norml diet intake has reduced significantly.

Can someone suggest what to do in this situation?? Any medicine recommended to get rid of this habit???

Thanks.

Hi, If anyone still reads this old post...holy crap! Keep the papers away from the kid, it's that easy!!!! There are a lot of chemicals that go into the processing and prining of papers, and if you think toilet and tissue papers are clean, think again! BLEACH for one thing to keep it oh so while and clean looking!!!!
