Suri Cruise's Baby Bottle Backlash

Now the 'experts' question TomKat's parenting skills...

Suri Cruise's Baby Bottle Backlash ...more Tom Cruise »

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ campaign to convince the world they are a normal family has taken a hit in the form of questions over their parenting skills.

‘Experts’ have taken the A-list couple to task over recent pictures that show that daughter Suri is still being bottle fed at aged 2.

"Most pediatricians recommend a bottle should be given up by age 1 - almost certainly by 18 months," say Dr. Charlotte Cowan, author of the Dr. Hippo book series.

The Doc suggests to Usmagazine.com that the family's constant travelling could be a factor in Suri's reluctance to give up the bottle.

"When babies are challenged, their diet is upset, their sleep is upset," Cowan tells the mag.

"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."

However, psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow believes that Suri's habit is not harmful to the adorable tot.

"We don't have a wealth of experience that suggests from a psychological point of view children are harmed by using a bottle for too long," he says.

Bad parenting or a storm in a sippy cup? Be sure to let us know your views.

  • It's not so much the bottle that bothers me, it's the fact that the child has never had a consistent home or schedule, is kept up at all hours (Tom is an insomniac and reportedly likes to wake her up to play when he's bored) and is about to begin Scientology "auditing".

  • You know the child is healthy happy and has parents that will care for her, yet people still pick at every little thing. Im sure if she does develop emotional issues from something it wont be from using a bottle at 2. It almost makes me wish I had taken up psychology because anyone with a paper degree now can call themselves experts in other peoples mind and development and say they are going to have problems from the silliest things. Hey experts how bout we focus on the kids with real issues!
