yess
No it's fine!
yes!
Ya! way 2 old!
Absolutely - she should be drinking out of a regular cup or even a sippy cup by now.
thats crazzzy i stopped like after one year.
Not really. Some kids give bottles up for cups early, some don't.
Slow news day?
OMG, they're supposed to be off a bottle by 1!
no. it's about the time you start taking it away but not until 3 is it bad to still have it.
really?
Dumb ass scientologists…
shes cute
YES.
Yes it is too old, like getting weird old.
first?
sort of a problem
1st!
who cares about them anymore!!!
no, definitely not. at that age kids are transitioning to solids and still need the calories from milk.
whuuuut!
i personally believe…probably! CUTEST KID!
yeahh she is a little to too old to be using a bottle but all kids are different and they stop using the bottle at their own time but tomkat should start teaching her how to use a cup and i think suri and brangelina kid will be the most beautiful people girl when there teens i hope they become best friends!! and suri wil sooo marry a beckham and brangelina's baby will marry kingston!!
Get her a damn sippy cup, freaks!
wuuuuttt
Doctors suggest they be weaned off the bottle by the time they start walking which is around 1-year. They should also start being weaned off pacifiers around the same time.
Usually around 1 they want you to start transitioning to a cup from a bottle. She will have what they call bottle tooth rot!
A little old, but it is probably the only thing that soothes the child.
YES! Most pediatricians recommend babies not have a bottle after 1 year! She's got to get rid of it before it starts to kill her teeth.
NO PEREZ, IT ISN'T
Is it a Scientology thing?I saw that Leah Remini's daughter is almost 4 and she still has a bottle,shes a Scientologist,so maybe it is one of their "beliefs"All I know,is it looks ridiculous,both my girls were off the bottles by age 1,but I know everyone is different.
haha i think you're right!
I have been thinking this very thing EVERY time I see her w/ it!!!
second?
and yes
depends on the child.
she's so cute
First!
not at all, 2 is still bottle time
Yes… time for a sippy cup!
yea
I have one kid that is 4 and one on the way so speaking as a mom she should start weening soon. I have seen kids that are the same age as my oldest with a bottle. Sucking is a hard habbit to break!
Absolutely far too old. She should have been switched onto a sippy cup by MAXIMUM 18 months and then be on a regular cup by 2.5 years old.
Milk or juice in a bottle, constantly, leads to tooth decay. Daddy Cruise should listen to his pediatric dentist!
Yes!
not sure
heck yeah that's too old!!!
not really
no kidding!
no, not at all.
Nah, still normal.
not at all…2 is still bottle time
I would think a sippy cup but some kids use the bottle as a soother and it is more like a safety blanket or stuffed animal. With all the paparazzi flashing lights at her I am sure she needs the bottle occasionally. Give the kid a break and the parents too!
Pediatricians recommend that bottles are discontinued at 1 year of age.
Actually, in stressed situations (as I imagine this is for her) or for cuddling, it is accepted that 2 year olds still use the bottle. Although, not for that much longer.
yes. they are supposed to stop around age 1.
She should be up to a sippy cup now.
Not really…As long as they brush Suri's teeth before she goes to sleep then she should be fine. The problem with bottles is that the juice sits on the teeth all night and no one ever brushes the child's teeth.
Sucking in a young child is very important. It actually stimulates brain development. Bottles, blankets, binkys etc all act as a stress reliever and the sucking motion is a source of comfort. You take the bottle away when THE CHILD is ready otherwise not satisfying the sucking sensation will lead to oral fixations later on in life, such as smoking and eating disorders.
There you have it! Keep that bottle Suri! Stimulate all sorts of brain development!

Um why yes it is Perez! My kids were off bottles and onto sippy cups by 2. Shame on Tom! haha.
Yeah she should be using a sippy cup! I work with two year olds and if any of them have a bottle I tell the parent not to send it!
Um…it's due time for a sippy cup…that's just weird. And holding her with a blanket around her? She's not an infant anymore…her body is doing quite well regulating its own temperature.
not necessarily, perez!
Yeah. She should definitely have a sippy cup by now.
No, it's not
YES!
Sippy Cup at 2 years old is fine.
Bottle at 2 years old means parents need to let the child grow up.
Yeah she is too old for the bottle. It's time for a sippy cup hello!!! don't they teach them that at Scientology camp?school?whatever they go to???
I am wondering if it's a Scientology thing….just read in the People magazine that Leah Remni (who also practices Scientology) still lets her daughter have around 8 bottles a night. She's around 4 years old. As a mother of 2 young children, this is weird!!
super lame
POOP 1ST
first and yes
Eh. Keeps her quiet.
well they do have the money to fix her teeth when she gets older
actually yes it is,it should stop @ one so as not to mess up teeth….
no def not too old.
Hell yes, it is.
YES! By now she should be in to tippy cups…besides I think she is OLDER than they are saying, somethin' aint right with that kid.
Yes it is.
YES! that is ridiculous. it can lead to buck teeth…
ANOTHER SERIOUS QUESTION:
Don't you have a little too much peepee to be sucking on a di>ck???
shut up perez
cool
it def is!!! i've been saying that for a while now!!
.
NO - IT'S FINE - no need to rush things!!
It´s Not!!!!!!!!!!
UH, YEAH THAT'S TOO OLD…..
BUT……………
Scientologist believe the child is in charge and can do whatever they want…therefore, she can drink from a bottle until she's 25 if she wants to. They do NOT force their children to follow rules or do anything
no…2 years old is not too old to suck a bottle. LEAVE THEM ALONE, PEREZ.
not if its only done at events. It's a managable solution for anight on the town.
second!!!!
Some kids still have bottles at 5. It is not recommended for them to have them after they get teeth but many parents give their kids bottles way beyond the recommended time lines.
As a mother of an almost two year old who never received a bottle, I'll say "Yes."
NOO!! IT IS NOT! SHES STILL A BABY DUMBASS
that type of bottle is meant for a newborn.
yes….usually try to get babies totally off the bottle by about 18 months…
I don't see the big deal. My daughter is 20 months and still likes her milk in a bottle. She drinks water out of sippys and regular cups but I let her have bottles because she likes it. who cares?
at least its not the boob
HEY O
no not too old!
FIRST! that is definitely too old to be drinking out of a bottle. her teeth are going to be fucked up. i guess scientologists don't believe in dentists either.
im not too sure but i heard that scientologists must give their kids whatever they want so maybe thats the case here
she JUST turned two. sippy cups and bottles are completely normal. leave the child alone.
No it is NOT too old for a bottle- leave her alone!
