Doctors say Suri Cruise is too old for a bottle
May 7, 2008
Get Suri a sippy cup, doctors say.
The 2-year-old — who was spotted sucking away on Monday in NYC — is too old for a bottle.
“Most pediatricians recommend a bottle should be given up by age 1 — almost certainly by 18 months,” Dr. Charlotte Cowan, author of the Dr. Hippo book series, tells Usmagazine.com.
Suri’s constant traveling could play a factor.
“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.”
Cowan advises Tom and Katie try to “distract [her] with something that might be more appealing, like a sippy cup.”
