Why does my child eat blanket lint?

Children may eat blanket lint due to curiOSity or a habit of exploring their environment through taste, which is common in younger kids. It could also be a sign of pica, a condition where individuals eat non-food items, often linked to nutritional deficiencies or sensory-seeking behavior. If this behavior persists, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
