Suri Still Drinking from a Bottle?
Suri Cruise, who turned two last month, was spotted drinking from a bottle earlier this week while strolling Madison Avenue in New York with mom Katie Holmes.
According to doctors, Suri should have been off the bottle by age 1, and most certainly by 18 months.
Dr. Charlotte Cowan, thinks Suri’s constant traveling could be the reason she hasn’t moved on to a sippy cup.
“When babies are challenged, their diet is upset, their sleep is upset,” Cowan says. “They will regress back to previous habits … lingering with a bottle is comforting. You could argue that her parents have decided that this is not the time to try to wean her off if they’re traveling frequently.”
I straddle the fence on this issue. Although I am not an advocate of traumatizing a toddler by taking away a bottle altogether if they aren’t ready, I do think a sippy cup should at least be introduced to the child by this point.

Didn’t Tom and Katie brag about how they are raising her in the Scientology way – that the child decides what is best??? I remember them talking about how Suri chooses when to go to sleep… when to wake up… and – obviously – when to get rid of her bottle.
Personally, I think this is mild child abuse. Drinking a bottle this late in life can lead to malformed teeth and jawbones.
Poor little Suri.
I agree on the OK for now bottle issue. I’ll bet Suri has good collection of pretty nice sippy cups. The bottle in question is probably being given to her for the “less mess” issue. The outfits both Katie and Suri are in are probably designer. How cute would it be to see Katie at a photo-op with a little kid splatter. Suri doesn’t look like she’s gotten to that “throw things wide and far” stage.
