This Is A Serious Question
Filed under: Baby Blabber > Tom Cruise
Suri Cruise has been stepping out with her daddy in NYC these last few days.
The child is now 2 years old.
Isn't that too old to still be sucking on the bottle??????

what difference does it make. She is a kid leave her alone
a year and 1/2 is too old for a bottle.. Stupid people.
my daughter started to use sippy cups at 10 months today at 2 1\2 she drinks out of regular cups but she still wants her milk in her bottle everry child is different to a toddler a bottle is comforting
There is no way I would let my child have a bottle at 2. My 18th month old uses a cup and when we go out she drinks out of her tomme tippee sippy cup. $10 at Kmart. There you go.
No it's not too old. You apparently don't have kids perez..lighten up hard ass.
they can aford braces
I work at a day care with infants.. they usually take them off the bottle at one year.
This is just sad, you are obviously running out of material, thanks for the reminder of how stupid and irrelevant you are.
My son had a bottle still at two, but just for before bedtime! NOT during the day, just a sippy cup. It needs to be gone soon for sure!
It is definitely too old. Her teeth could rot!
First bitches. You'd think they'd be embarassed to take her out with a bottle like that, like she's a baby or something. They probably think they don't have to abide by any sort of social norms. They won't be feeling so smart when her teeth are all messed up from sucking on a bottle until she was like 20 or something.
wouldn't it be funny if they had an endorsment deal with that type of bottle and so suri has to always be seen with it!
Yea Perez you are perfect, try to raise a child, you cant even raise a DOG
Yes, it absolutely is!! She should be using a sippy cup now. I don't believe there are any health issues from it though.
just because she is seen w/ a bottle doesnt mean she doesnt use cups too!! my son is suri's age uses his sippy cups and loves regular cups during the day, and has a little bottle w/ milk at storey time, b4 teeth brushing and bed, its just a comfort and part of a routine for them……and it stimulates brain activity, self-soothing and decreases oral fixation issues later….
Maybe she needs it when faced with hundreds of flashing cameras. She may not need it normally, but it might be the only thing that keeps her from freaking out.
HILLARY is sooooo much better than O-bomb-A! Please VOTE for Hillary at all cost.
Depends whats in it. Its probably milk not formula.
Re: Flossie – bullshit 99% of america! get your figures straight lady. 10 months old and you ripped that bottle from your little one? how about we all start calling you a lazy ass mother for not wanting to wash bottles anymore and maybe that's the real reason you did away with them! Why did you do it 2 months prior to the doctor recommended age of 1 years old? Babies do need milk and most prefer it to soothe them before bed. How do you make a 10 month old sit up in bed and drink out of a cup? YOU DON'T. People taking bottles away from children that can't even walk yet is unheard of! That goes double for the poster who said she took her kid off the bottle at 6 months! Leave Suri alone. She just turned 2 and she probably switches back and forth with a sippy! you all need to just STFU and mind your own children. you sound like a bunch of catty bitches. Who would want to do a playdate with you !???
Nope!!! I still sucking in my bottle, at my age is a beer bottle!!!
oh please, shes a little girl leave her alone. she likes her bottle, no harm no foul
I don't think so…what's the big deal? Then again…my son is 2 and is still sucking on my BREASTS!!!! ha ha.
yea it is too old especially since shes a "genius" riggghhhhtttt
YES IT IS!!!!! These people need to read a parenting book or some shiz.
I guess it's one of those things that come down to differing parenting attitudes. I was never allowed to drag bottles around, I was made just sit and drink until I was finished. I think that was mainly because mum thought that having bottles sitting around was dirty.
Ask any pediatrician and 9 times out of 10 the will recommend that by 1yr you start to introduce the sippy cup..
By 1 1/2 the child should be drinking from the cup the majority of the time…
Any longer than that you run the risk of tooth decay..
My peditrician reccommended NO MORE BOTTLE BY 18 Months!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH YES!!! at one! no formula, milk, in a sippy cup! no pacifiers either. UGH! and it is not a hard habit to break unless you're a parent who lets the kid run the household!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what if she drinking from a bottle, do you paid for her milk & bottle, so shut up.
YES!!! My son stopped drinking from a bottle at 9 months. They're messing up her teeth and keeping her from branching out into toddlerhood. It's like they want her to stay a baby forever. Tom mentioned she says Papa Cruise now. Ok, she should be speaking in 3 word sentences ATLEAST! I don't know what's going on in that house.
yes! most children give up bottles at 1, not 2…but this is a celebrity child and much attention is not given to these children by their parents, therfore thats probably the reason for this. raised by nanny's not by their parents. plus it has a plastic bottom like that, that is more so used for babies so there is not so much air in the bottle, hell i seen kate hudsons son with a pacifer until the age of 3!
Kristen, you're an idiot. Teeth don't rot from bottle use. Teeth rot from bottle use AT NIGHT, and when the teeth aren't brushed.
Re: michele – 2 years old is not bottle time Michele…Wow….I hope you dont have kids…After 1 year they tell you start gettin your child to drink out of a sippy cup….Hopefully you dont have that same timeline about potty training…LoL
what else is she supposed to be drinking out of on the street? a gallon jug of milk? seriously perez
YES! WAY TO OLD, my daughter was off the bottle at 14 months. All Dr's will tell you 2 is too old. Maybe its a another scientologist belief??!?!?!?!?!?
Since it's not too old to be breast feeding…I'm going to venture a no to your question. Also, when you're wearing designer clothing it's probably best to give the child a bottle rather than a spill-able cup. Duh.
Perez - stick to gossip! Not to parenting questions. Why do you even care?
yes it is. i am the mother of two, so i am speaking from experience. it is too old.
no not really but she should use the sippie cup with the soft nipple !! like my kids… perez you aint got kids so dont be presuptuos
People who keep their kid on a bottle for two years are lazy, selfish, and not fit to be parents.
yes it's too old. it's horrible for their teeth. kids should be off the bottle BY ONE YEAR! My ped had me wean my kids beginning around 10 months - by a year, they could drink out of a sippy or straw cup.
She probably does use a sippy cup when Tom isn't carrying her wearing expensive suits for her to spill it on.
WHO CARES!
Who cares? I'm still on the bottle…… of Jim Beam.
PEREZ,
THIS IS MY ADVICE TO YOU. I AM A DIE HARD TOM CRUISE FAN AND SO ARE A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. I LOVE YOU BUT EVERY TIME YOU DISS ON TC OR ATTEMPT TO CRITIQUE HIS PARENTING SKILLS OR FAMILY BUSINESS… YOU PUSH ME AWAY. IT HURTS TO BE PUSHED AWAY BY SOMEONE YOU LOVE. AFTER WATCHING THE INTERVIEW WITH OPRAH TODAY AND LAST FRIDAY, IT JUST REMINDED ALL OF US HOW SPECIAL AND HOW DOWN TO EARTH TOM REALLY IS. YOU WILL FIND ANYTHING TO MAKE FUN OF OR MAKE A DEAL OUT OF WITH HIM AND YOU NEED TO STOP!!!! NO 2 IS NOT TOO OLD TO BE ON A BOTTLE DON'T BE A DUMB ASS. SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT PARENTING?!?!? HE IS A GREAT GUY AND HAS EARNED EVERY OUNCE OF RESPECT HE HAS IN THIS WORLD. JUST LEARN WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE.
yes, thats too old! you are supposed to be off the bottle around a year old…shes going to have bad teeth
Too late. Pediatrician says start getting rid of it at 12 months, definitely at 14 months. A 9 month old can drink from a cup.
i thought scientologists are all about treating their kids like adults? its way too old
Obviously a comment from a non-parent!
Kids drink milk from bottles up to 3-4 years old, it's just a matter of when and how frequently.
i guess it would be semi-acceptable if she had water or juice in the bottle. however, it looks like she still has the bottle with the plastic bags inside that are used for infants!!!
OMG Perez…she probably gets a bottle to just mess around with (and drink out of) when they go out. Most likely she uses a regular cup at home by now… Are you really this ignorant about kids…posing a SERIOUS question like this? You REALLY don't come up with an answer like this yourself?
Yes…by 12 months she should have been on a sippy cup…I've always thought that was strange. My doctor was adament about this with my child. Wonder if there is a developmental issue?
Yes! as a nutritionist we encourage kids to stop the bottle at 12 months. staying on the bottle too long can cause cavities, crooked front teeth, and fussy eating later on…
Re: Lindsee – Why are you even commenting…stupid ass
My son is only 2 months older than Suri and still occasionally has a bottle. If I give him a cup, I need to make sure he's sitting down at a table and that I have a clean top and a cloth to clean up any spills. If we're out and about sometimes it's just more convienient to give him a bottle instead of a cup.
It's amusing reading the reactions - you can tell who has experience with toddlers and who's naive.
WOULD YOU IDIOTS STOP DISCUSSING THE BOTTLE AND WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT SHE IS NOT TOM CRUISE'S BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER AND SHE IS OLDER THAN 2!!!!!!!!!!! APRIL 18 IS NOT HER BIRTHDAY. KATIE FAKED THE END OF HER "PREGNANCY" TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH TOM'S BABY. IN REALITY SHE WAS PREGNANT BEFORE THEY METTTTT!!@!!!IT IS A SCIENTOLOGY CONSPIRICY TO MAKE TOM LOOK LIKE A REAL MAN. GO BACK AND LOOK AT PICTURES OF HER THROUGHOUT HER PREGNANCY. HER BELLY WAS BIG, THEN SMALLER , THEN BIG AGAIN.
thank you ,thank you thank you, for saying that. she should def be off that bottle., my kids were both off the bottle at 10 months!!!!
my kids are 7 and 9…and they are still on the bottle. nothing wrong with it at all. all u haters better recognize.
Yeah, two's a bit old to be using a bottle.
no its not old, my sister had her bottle until she attended preschool..it was her "security blanket"..
Ummmmmmmmm…Yes!
It's not the end of the world. She won't go to college with it.
OK losers. I think it's a little old to be on a bottle but… C'mon. It's not like she's going to be walking around with a bottle hanging outta her mouth when she's an adult. She will graduate to a cup someday. U people would criticize Jesus Christ if given the chance. Jeez.
No! Now for teddy it would be a problem!
yup it's normal me and my younger sister both used a bottle when we we're 2
Re: elyse – that has to be the most ignorant thing I've read. Children transition into solids at one year not 2. Weaning from the bottle begins at about one…mosst make the full transition by 18 mo.s and even most daycares stop providing a bottle by then. At 2 they may still get an evening/bedtime bottle if they're still weaning but there's no real harm in it. Look at Heidi Klum's kids…there are pics from their Disney trip where one of the older tots has a bottle and NO ONE bothered to mention that.
WAY too old. That freak Leah's Remini's daughter is older than that and has a bottle. It will ruin the shape of her mouth. (GWTW) Listen to the old folks and knock that shit off now. Surprised she isn't still on the book. That' s probably for Tom!!!!
Yes - her palate is not getting any favors. She should be on a sippy cup or a regular cup - all that bottle does is trap sugar behind her teeth and can cause decay (and malform her palate). But what do we know? Maybe there is a reason they are doing this…before we judge I would assume that with their ability to hire medical teams they have been fully informed.
2 yrs old is WAY too old to have a bottle and a it looks like a playtex bottle for babies who as being weaned off the boob…man TOMKAT is crazy…but at least they can afford the dental bills this poor girl will have in her future if she keeps suckin' on that bottle!!!
At one years old your child should be off the bottle or else their teeth can rot. At two most kids can drink out of real cups. But scientologists are allowed to drink from bottles until they 12. Zenu said so.
No its fine!, my son didnt get off the bottle when he was 2 bitch so shut the fuck up!!!!!
She shoulda been off that about a year ago…and they should probably stop carrying her ass around…let the kid walk by herself
I heard that she is still on breastmilk. Scientology thing or something??
its her milk so thats fine, its nice of them to give her some form of comfort while being pimped out
It just might be a comfort thing for Suri. However, she should be with a sippy cup now. Well, at least Cruise has money for her braces when she gets older.
SERIOUSLY!!!
Yes. But look at who her parents are. Seriously.
1 year is the general rule…especially during the day, and out in public! Maybe one bottle at night until a year and a half…but not 2 { : - )
Re: AMO –
if suri is 2, then she should be speaking in two-word sentences (on average). maybe she can say more, but it's not like we ever hang out with her, so how would we really know?
Since when has Perez become a parenting expert?! Leave celebrities kids out of it!!
It is so aggravating when innocent celebrity children are dragged in the mud!
I am sure it is just a security thing for Suri…esp. w/ all those crazy photogs….and cameras flashing in her face I am sure she needs it!!!
He's just trying to shut her up because she'd rather scream "Get me outta here!"
Yes…too old…should be off bottle by 1 year old. Clearly Lazy parenting!
It sure is….she should have been introduced to a sippy cup just before the age of 1 and then had the bottle taken soon after…. The parents have to own up and just stick with it….
Criticize, criticize, criticize. Having a two year old drink from a bottle will do her no harm. The World Health Organization recommends that babies breast feed until they're 2 years old, so I doubt a bottle will hurt either. Everyone's in a hurry to make kids grow up, but let them just be little. Relax, she's still a baby.
Re: elyse – Do you even have children? Kids are not transitioning to solids at 2. They start doing that at 6 months or so. I have 4 children and every last one of them was off the bottle by their 1st b-day. People who give their kids bottles at 2 are just too lazy to deal with the crying that comes along with taking it away. Lazy parents!
As a physician, my colleagues and I say - off of the bottle and pacifier by age one…
Yes. We (pediatricians) recommend getting rid of the bottle by 12 months.
uhmm, YES. she should be in the sippy cup stage haha.
Bottles should be taken away by the age of one. It can effect the positioning of teeth. Children who lay down with the bottle can have problems with their ears. Also, it is milk that is in the bottle which increases her chance of having cavities. Drinking from a cup would decrease the likely hood of "grazing" (sucking on the bottle for hours and continuing to bath the teeth in sugar) Yes, milk is full of sugar!!
Leave this kid alone! Some kids keep a bottle until there 3.
they dont care as long as it keeps the kids from screaming and crying. they'll pay to have her teeth fixed when she is old enough
my little boy is two and can drink from a regular cup……
THANK YOU! I have an 18 month old daughter and it's NOT ok for a child this age to have a bottle, infact, after they turn 1 they shouldn't have anything more than a sippy cup. For the past few days I've seen that picture and wondered why no one questions it.
yes, it is too old. She should be learning how to drink from a regular cup now, or on a sippy cup that is much like drinking from a regular cup.
No it's not…some kids take longer to let go of the bottle
I was told to wean off the bottle at age one, for both my kids. So yes, I think it's strange that she's always got a bottle with her at age 2.
it's not too old. i'm sure she drinks out of other cups, too. that bottle looks like it spills less, for one thing. plus she's only 2. no harm will come from her having a bottle. the thing about bottles rotting kids teeth is that they give them milk before bed and then don't brush the teeth. if they brush her teeth she'll be fine. it's also a comfort thing and i'll assume having cameras in your face is stressful.
PLEASE LEAVE SURI ALONE. Quit putting alien antennae on her. She is too young to defend herself. I am sure it rips her mother apart every time someone says something about her negative or hurtful.
Leave all the small children of celebrities alone. They are not responsible for their parent's actions. THEY ARE NOT FAIR GAME.
YES.
