is it harmful to eat baby powder?


Question:
a friend has been eating baby powder since her first pregnancy, 7 years ago... its probably because of iron deficiency, but i dont think its the right alternative...

Answers:
Yes, it is. She needs to go to a doctor. Pica is a psychiatric condition usually caused by a biological one. It doesn't make sense for her to still have pica seven years later, so a visit to the health clinic or family doctor is in order. Tell her it could mean something serious but easy to fix is wrong with her health so she'll go. Good luck.
hmm thats wierd but if a doctor says it's alright to eat baby powder for iron deficiencies then i guess it's ok
