Tom and Katie haven’t weaned Suri from a bottle and she’s four years old. Is this something to be worried about? Doctors suggest weaning a child from a bottle by the age of one. Same thing holds true for breastfeeding. Does a bottle harm a child once they turn that magical age?
Both of my children self weaned before they were two because we offered them spill proof sippy cups. They have since graduated to spill proof straw cups until they have mastered the art of keeping a cup upright. So, do I think a 4 year old is too old for a bottle? Every parent should know there child so I can only hope they are doing whats best for Suri. Would a 4 year old drink a bottle in my house? Probably not but only because kids have a tendency to mimic what they see and we have two older children that are bottle free.
I wouldn’t come out and say that Tom and Katie are doing a bad job of parenting but I do think they should take a look around them. Suri is 4 years old and she’s already being teased by the cruel world. I would hope they are already teaching her some fabulous comebacks to say to those cruel “kids” she’ll run into every day.
I’ve heard some people knocking Scientology for trusting that our children know their own bodies. My boys knew when they had enough of bottle or breast and they gradually weaned themselves. Children trust their bodies a lot more than adults trust their own bodies. That’s because we have spent many years not trusting ourselves and being taught that our bodies must meet some criteria set by “important” people. I have yet to encounter a child, barring health issues, would indulge themselves in sweets 24/7/365 if given a choice. Even the children that are restricted from candy except on occasion would eventually turn to food that is healthier for them.
What do you think about Suri using a bottle?
Suri Cruise is set to get a sibling, as mother Katie Holmes is preparing for her second child with Scientology lessons.
The 31-year-old actress has been undergoing intense Scientology “auditing” and is “being prepared” for her second with husband Tom Cruise, who is also a high-priest of the religion, reported the New York Post.
After promoting the Kevin Kline movie The Extra Man, and The Romantics, at Sundance, Holmes is back to spending hours at the Hollywood Scientology Center.
“This is exactly what happened just before she got pregnant with Suri. Tom has made no secret of the fact that he would like another baby. It is almost as if she is being prepared for it,” said a source close to the couple.
Scientologists believe the “health and the sanity of the child begin long before birth,” according to a church-run Web site, which campaigns for silent birth.
A report that Tom Cruise was injured in Hollywood on Oscars Sunday has yet to be confirmed.
The report had Cruise injured slightly in a motorcycle accident when he tried to avoid colliding with a car outside a restaurant in Los Angeles.
The Knight and Day star, 47, was noticeably absent from the Academy Awards ceremony playing out in Hollywood.
But according to one website, Gossip Cop, sources close to the star have confirmed the reports are false. The source of the confirmation was clarified as a rep for his wife, Katie Holmes. Cruise’s representative could not be reached, the website reports.
According to a report carried in the New York Daily News, Cruise was forced to veer his red Ducati after an SUV ran a stop sign, causing his bike to spin out of control. The newspaper traced the report to HollywoodLife.com.
‘It was like a scene from Mission Impossible,’ a witness was quoted as saying.
The report claims Cruise struggled to his feet and appeared to limp slightly. Five people ran to help him. Cruise then sat outside KOI Restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard and made at least two phone calls as he waited for paramedics to arrive, witnesses said.
Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise modeled their new clothing line on the streets of Boston, Massachusetts.
The gals wore matching red dresses that are reportedly from their mommy-and-me collection, according to Glamour magazine.
In August, Katie and her stylist Jeanne Yang announced they were gearing a collection toward women and children that would be “full of classic flare,” Women’s Wear Daily reported. The mag says they will call the line Holmes & Yang.
Wearing only a negligee, Katie Holmes looks pretty chilly as she shoots scenes for her new film.
But as the 30-year-old actress covered up with a cardigan in between takes while filming The Romantics, her co-star Anna Paquin seemed to have a better idea to keep warm.
True Blood star Anna, 27, was seen running around in her skimpy nightie as she tried to beat the chill in Long Island, New York yesterday.


Katie Holmes was photographed bottle-feeding daughter Suri on the New York set of her new movie, The Romantics.
She is 3 years old and still on the bottle. What three year old is on the bottle still?
“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, tells Usmagazine.com. “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.”
Katie Holmes has shot down rumours she’s been offered a role in the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel.
The Hollywood star was alleged to be the favourite to land a part as a feisty businesswoman rivalling Kim Cattrall’s maneating character Samantha Jones in a follow-up to the 2008 box office smash.
Stylish Katie Holmes is launching her own clothing line and plans to have her designs in American stores by the autumn.
The actress teamed up with her stylist Jeanne Yang to design the dress she wore at last year’s Tropic Thunder premiere – and she was so thrilled with the result, she has decided to create a whole range of clothes, a collaboration with fashion store Maxfield.
A representative for Holmes tells People.com “Her line will be sold at Maxfield in the fall.”
Katie Holmes was spotted at CBS Studios wearing an ugly dress.
What does the 30-year-old mom have up her sleeve?! Last weekend, Katie met with FOX producer, Nigel Lythgoe, who judges the reality TV competition So You Think You Can Dance. Katie is rumored to be making a special performance on the show and now she’s meeting with CBS!
Whatever Katie’s up to, it looks like she’ll be making her way back to the small screen!
