Come on, Tom & Katie: Time to Ditch Suri’s Bottle — She’s Almost 5!
The growing girl was spotted last week eating out with her parents—and she sipped a bottle all night. Experts warn it’s NOT OK!
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes‘ daughter, Suri, turns 5 in April, so it was surprising to see the little girl drinking from a bottle on Feb. 7, while out to dinner with her famous parents. “She was sipping from her bottle all night at a Thai restaurant,” and eyewitness tells Life & Style. While her parents may think it’s cute that she’s still using her baby bottle, experts say the habit could be hazardous to little Suri’s health.

“Older children who use a bottle could potentially rot their teeth and hurt their jawbone structure,” says dentist Patric Cohen. And psychologist Jenn Berman says, “Drinking from a bottle at her age is a regressive behavior and could incite teasing from her peers.”
So why does Suri still use her bottle? The finger could be pointed at Tom and Katie’s belief in Scientology, which recommends parents give their children a sugary formula of barley water, homogenized milk and corn syrup over breast-feeding.
Suri might have a sibling soon
And apparently this mixture is so delicious, celebrity kid Scientologists everywhere are scarfing it up! Leah Remini‘s daughter Sophia, 3, still drinks “six or more bottles a night,” and Leah says she “could see her drinking a bottle til she’s 16!”
So, what do you think of Suri drinking out of a bottle? She’s almost 5-years-old!

OMG ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME??? Do you know how bad that is??? Corn syrup is extremely bad for your health.
There is nothing healthier for a baby than breast milk. But mommas normally don’t breastfeed for more than 2 years. I really hope they didn’t replace breastfeeding with some sugary drink during her baby years.
I feel sorry for this little girl.

Drinking the “Special” Drink can be done out of a cup.
The bottle is a security thing and that age, if she doesn’t learn to stand on her own two feet at some point, she’s going to end up a Celeb kids on drugs at 14 and in and out of rehab her whole life.
Teaching your child early on to be strong, may to some seem cruel but this is a harsh world and our children need strong role models, not weak parents that allow them to do what ever they want for fear the child may not “like” them. Figure out another way to be your childs hero, instead of teching them that if they cry or throw a fit, you’ll give them what they want…… THAT will ONLY get you a spolied rotten kid!!
Tom himself has said Suri does what Suri wants…. I see REHAB in her future!!!
