Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Told to Wean Suri Off The Bottle

Tom Cruise and Katie HolmesHOLLYWOOD super-couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been told to wean their adorable daughter Suri off the bottle.

Holmes, 30, was recently photographed bottle-feeding the three-year-old on the New York set of her new movie, The Romantics.

“She should have been weaned off the bottle by the time she was one year old,” Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of Food Fights, told Us Weekly magazine.

“By the time kids are nine months old, they have the physical development and mouth coordination necessary to be able to drink out of a sippy cup or a cup with straw. That development comes pretty early.”

Shu says she doesn’t “know why” Tom and Katie still allow the girl to use a bottle. “You don’t force kids to crawl when they can walk,” Shu said.

“They should transition her to a different security object that doesn’t cause cavities, such as a blanket or a Teddy bear.”

    I think the reason why Suri still uses the bottle is because she throws a temper tantrum whenever they try to take it away fron her!! They can’t stand to hear her cry or put up a fuss! So, it’s just easier to give in to her demands!! These are people who can and will get away with anything that they want. They don’t care what other people think!! I don’t think they try too hard to wean her of the bottle even if it is for Suri’ own good.
