My (otherwise very normal) 2 year old has an extremely disturbing habit of eating hair. She Will find a hair on the floor and put it in her mouth. It's been going on for abt a year now, doesn't happen so often but lately more frequently. Anyone else have a similar experience with their child? I am looking for advice.

There is a disorder when kids pull out their own hair and maybe also eat it.

I would observe her and call your pediatrician to discuss. Much luck.
