Is Suri Too Old to Hit the Bottle?

Maybe it's what LRH prescribes, but Suri Cruise is too old to be drinking from a bottle, say doctors – medical doctors.

Suri was spotted yesterday slurping a bottle as she and Scientolomom Katie Holmes strolled Madison Avenue, but Usmagazine.com talked to some pediatricians who say that the two-year-old should've been drinking from a sippy cup already. Most babies are weaned off a bottle by 18 months.

Given her parents' insistence on keeping her under the stairs – this could explain a lot.

Babwa Covered Star's Fat Ass


Star Jones thought everyone would believe that her rapid weight-loss back when was the result of good habits – and she made Barbara Walters and the rest of "The View" girls lie for her.

Baba Wawa tells Oprah Winfrey that she "had to lie on the set everyday ... She was our colleague and she really did not want us to out her. We cared about her, and we thought we owed her." And here comes the bitch-zinger: "Well, we knew it wasn't portion control and Pilates."

Rihanna and Chris B. Finally Just Saying So


Rihanna at least is finally acknowledging that she and Chris Brown are an item, after months of playing annoyingly and needlessly coy.

"We've always been friends," she tells Elle. "But we're very close now." The pair have been spotted making out in a Jamaica pool and TMZ caught up with them getting tattoos together in NYC. As for that other persistent rumor about Rihanna – that she hooked up with her boss Jay-Z – she says, "I get asked about it all the time and I'm like, 'You're asking, but you know the answer.'"

46. I was waiting for this pick on Curise...why did no one comment on Kate Hudson's kid sucking a bottle and soother at almost 4 and in diapers til 3, the kid even looked dirty. No one even said boo about that. Let it alone.

48. Because the Scientologists set themselves as the 'knowing ones'. They supposedly have all the answers and are just a little better than everyone else. I guess because you can only be a Scientol. if you're rich enough to be able to buy your way into the cult. Average people aren't able to audit and reach the levels they do. And this is a legit religion? They treat their children and babies as small adults? Does this really make sense to you? Tom Cruise thinks anyone who doesn't agree with him is "glib". Kate Hudson is a free spirit and kind of a hippie, although a wealthy one. She doesn't tell others how to live their lives and doesn't pretend to be perfect or have all the answers. She pretty much lives her own life and lets others live theirs without judgement. Big difference.

49. Um she's 2 not 4! Just because one picture shows her sucking from a bottle doesn't mean that's her only means of drinking. My daughter is the same age and will every now and then suck on a bottle, but it's very rare. And to comment about a 2 year old sucking on a pacifier? Are you kidding me? When you get the "Parent of the Year" award, then critisize all you want, until then, shut up!

50. If she wants the bottle WHO CARES!!! Can I wouldn't like anyone to tell me what to do with my child so if its good for you then you're the one that has to handle any consequences. Using a bottle doesn't seem to have consequences. My niece used a bottle until her 5th birthday and she's a normal child, her teeth are straight (naturally) and she has never had a cavity, EVERYTHING depends on the parents.

51. My daughter is 3, and while she is completely off the bottle, when she goes to her Nana's, she has one. It's a small treat she looks forward to. Suri is a little old to be doing nothing but suck on a bottle, but in a high-stress situation (like being surrounded by a crapload of paps), it is perfectly okay to give the child a bottle to keep them calm. TC and Katie probably feed her normal people food, the kid probably DOES drink from a sippy cup, but since we don't see this, everyone jumps to conclusions. The bottle is probably a comforting thing to Suri when she's scared. And that's fine...she's still a very young child, give her and her parents a break.

By the way, TMZ, I'm a doctor....a medical doctor...and my colleagues and I all agree that having a bottle every once in a while is okay for a child under 5. What do you think Gatorade containers with the twist and suck tops are but glorified bottles? And water bottles? Ha.

54. All you people are wrong saying that drinking a bottle messes up a kid. First of all, kids have baby teeth until they are about 6 so drinking a bottle will NOT affect their permanent teeth. ALSO, my daughter drank a warm bottle of milk until she was 5. She would even make her own bottle when she got home from school She is now 16 yrs old and a straight A student who is great in sports and very popular in her high school. She's 5ft 10 "which I attribute to all that milk drinking" and she's NEVER had to have braces and she's the lead singer in the high school choir. People and doctors who say it has to be this way or that way are clueless. They only want to force their beliefs on other people. They only say something because they want to act like there should be restrictions on everything and time limits. Drinking sugar filled KOOLAID out of a bottle might cause tooth decay, but I never had problems with my child with decay. Why? Because I taught her to brush her teeth twice a day. Dentist used to say at least 3 times a day, but now they are running into problems with people brushing their gums away from their teeth, after many years of brushing like Dentists said, now we know that 3 times a day is too much for your gums. Another example of Doctors not knowing everything!

55. Oh, and I never put anything but milk in my daughter's bottle.

56. Who cares if Suri has a bottle or not? I'm sure she drinks out of a sippy cup as well. She's not going to be permanently scarred if she has a bottle longer than pediatricians approve. This is just nit-picking. This little girl is being well-raised and this is just an attempt to poke at Tom through his child. Not something one should be proud of. I will guarantee that every single one of us has done, is doing, or will do something with our children that pediatricians wouldn't approve up. Leave the kid alone.

57. Montana- just so you know, most pediatricians would rather see a 2 year old with a pacifier than a bottle, a bottle is worse for their teeth than a pacifier. Both my sons were done with the bottle at 12 months and the pacifier at 16 months, though.

58. Time out a second folks!! There is no 'cookie cutter' age that a child reaches certain milstones. Keep in mind this is the childs mileston NOT the adult's. Sure, Tom & Katie should prbably have Suri off the bottle by now, but seriously, she's two years and a couple of weeks? As for Leah's baby not being potty trained, I'm no expert, but some kids just take longer than others. (I don't read evrery gossip site or magazine, so I have not heard this) We don't know if the child has some medical condition or whatever. Taking cheap shots at a child is just cruel.

As far as the Star Jones , Barbara covering for her BS, and outing whom ever Barbara had her affair with....Don't buy the book, turn the channel when she's on TV you DO have choices.

So you mean to tell me that pediatricians are going to say stop the bottle at 12 months...BUT WHY DO THEY SAY BREAST FEED AS LONG AS POSSIBLE???? Le Leche teaches that it's Ok to breast feed well into the 3 erd year. So what ever! PACIFIERS are BOGUS! I had 4 children and NONE of them used a pacifier. It teaches a child to rely on something else for comfort. At least with a bottle they are getting nutrition.

You are bragging that your kids were off the "PACIFIER" at 18 months! LOL I think that's ridiculous!!! It's wimpy to me when I see a kid sucking on a pacifier, because really, is the kid too stupid to know that he's not getting anything from it??? lol Nope, PACIFIERS were for the weak minded and my kids I'm happy to say NEVER had one in their mouth. BTW...My pediatrician thinks pacifiers are one of the worst inventions for babies and he would like to see them done away with. He said kids tend to suck on pacifiers constantly throughout the day increasing the risk of mouth deformities in prolonged cases, where as a bottle is in the mouth approx 5 to 10 minutes, until the milk is gone, then they don't want another for several hours (in older children), but a kid who sucks a pacifier, wants it all the time.

60. God only knows what they are teaching this child (no pun intended). I would certainly hope she gets her shots and proper medical care. What goes on behing closed doors is their business unless it is obviously physically or mentally abusive. Suri seems like a happy, well adjusted child. I don't know that the paps have ever caught her in a tantrum or the parents ready to snap. Whatever is going on, only time will tell.
