Actress Katie Holmes, 28, takes daughter, Suri, 18 months on Thursday, along with Suri’s grandmother Mary Lee for a stroll through the Tiergarten park in Berlin, Germany.
I love this little girl! Too bad the pics quality is crappy. But it’s like that all over the net :/

Seriously, at 18 months shouldn’t she have moved on to Sippy Cups rather than still using bottles?

I love Suri. She ist so cute. Suri is mix of mother and father!

She is such a cute thing and seems like a lot of trouble. Look at her thinking she can have two bottles. She is my all time favourite celebrity baby. She sure beats them all. David Banda is a close second and Violet’s dimples are to die for.

i think it’s time to lose the bottle and get with a sippy cup! she’s 18 months! cute outfit on suri! and i love katie’s boots.
- karen on
At 18 months, it is time to take her off that bottle Katie….

Suri: “I’ll give you two of these for one sippy cup, Mom!”
(So frigging cute!! Love the top and the jeans that are on the creep downward.)

Two bubbies! How cute! What a darling.
- Mimi on
She is such a beautiful, expressive and happy baby.Just looking at her respond to the camera makes me smile.Thank you for the pictures.I’m an avid fan!!!

She is a doll! If she is anything like my DD (stubborn!) then I understand why she is still on the bottle…she’ll happily take a sippy as long as her milk is not in it! My DD uses the same bottle too!

What is with all of these celebrity babies being on the bottle until they are close to two? I’ve noticed that with a lot of them, Alabama Barker is one that quickly comes to mind. 12 months is usually the time to switch them, but pediatricians recommend no later than 18 months. If they are resistant, it is time to go cold turkery.

ALL YOU BOTTLE HATERS, SHE IS ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD FOR GOODNESS SAKES! IT’S NOT LIKE SHE IS 4 OR SOMETHING! BOTH MY BOYS USED BOTTLES TILL THEY WERE 3 FOR THERE MILK AND THEY BOTH HAVE GREAT TEETH ACCODING TO THEIR DENIST. AS LONG AS SHE DOES NOT GO TO BED WITH THEY SHE IS FINE. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE GO TO SLEEP WITH IT, AND WHEN THEY DRINK SUGARY DRINKS OUT OF IT AT NIGHT. LET THE MOMS DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THEIR KIDS.
- BELA on
My pediatrician would freak out!! It was a tough adjustment for my son but had to be done! Can’t figure out what Suri is wearing? Like Katie’s outfit though!
- brannon on
Suri is precious.
My 14 month old daughter rejects milk from her sippy cup. We are working on it, but it does take time. She gets two bottles a day, nap time and bed time.
- Tara on
She is so so adorable!!! AND..if it’s completely fine for an 18 month old to still be breastfed (via mommy’s nipples) then why is it SO bad for an 18 month old to still drink her milk from a bottle???? Nobody would ever tell a breastfeeding mom to start pumping into a sippy cup when the baby is 12 months old…so why should babies who are not breastfed anymore have to give up the nipple on a bottle??….IMO!!!! People need to relax, every mom and every child is different!
- Amanda on
We have tried to get our DD off the bottle since her one year check up in July. She will not drink milk from her sippy cup and we have tried every sippy cup on the market! She will drink water or watered down juice from it all day long but if we put milk in it its like game over…she will not touch it! I would much rather see her drink milk so we give her four bottles a day. I am dreading her 18 mo checkup next month because of this…she did give up her paci though! 
I had another mom give me the advice of do not stress on it and enjoy giving her the bottle because pretty soon she won’t be a baby to give a bottle to. It’ll happen before she’s two!
- Amber H. on
Seriously, people need to lay off the bottle comments. It is really not a big deal…she is still a baby. In our society, we want our children to grow up so quickly. Everyone brags about how young their kid walks, talks, is potty trained, etc. For what? Unless there is a developmental issue, every child will eventually do all of these things, including giving up the bottle. Each child is different and some are very attached to their ba-bas. I doubt that Suri will still be using one when she is 5. Stop criticizing!!
- BostonMom on
agreed, amanda!
suri is a total cutie pie. i love her little haircut and her outfit. seeing little ones in jeans always makes me smile, especially the celebrity babes. there’s just something so “normal” about it.
- erica on
Double fisting the bottles! haha!
My niece is like that with her pacifier. Two in the hand one in the mouth, although I wish she’d give them up completely bc I can’t stand them! Atleast they did have her off the bottle by 12 months. And my nephews now that they don’t take a bottle they refuse milk. The doctor said that this isn’t really that good considering they don’t like yogurt, cheese, or any other dairy products besides ice cream! So in a way I too would rather my kid get the milk any way they can. But to me the longer you wait the more attach they become making it harder to transition them. JMO

Boston Mom,
You couldn’t have said it better!!!! People judge about so many things. And parents stress about so many things. As it turns out, those things do eventually happen. Oh to get back the lost sleep or naturally brown hair that turned grey over worrying how I will get my daughter to sleep through the night, how do I wean her, etc. My friends and I keep a list of things not to worry about with #2. Hope it works!
- Angela on
Bostonmom I totally agree with you. People have been saying suri should be off a bottle since she was like 13 months, enough already. She is only 18 months, that’s still a baby IMO. I like babies to be babies, and not make them grow up so fast. If she was 3yrs old with a bottle or pacifie different story, but 18 months is not bad. Kids are only babies for a short period of time and people worry so much about them being potty trained before 2, in school by 2, off a bottle by 1, etc.
- gianna on
Oh I forget to add in my last post suri is beautiful, one of the cutest celebrity babies and dressed adorable always.
- gianna on
I’m less interested in the bottles and more in her top! any ideas, that is absolutely adorable!
- monika on
I agree with you BostonMom.
Pacifiers, pacifiers; bottles, bottles, stroller, strollers; come on, who says you’re a better parent or that what you do is right or wrong?! She’s 18 months, so, “Katie let her use the bottles”. When I saw this post had alreay 17 comments I thought “oh I bet all this is about the bottles” and I was right. I’m sorry to say but I sincerely think it’s ridiculous!! I used a bottle until I was older than 2 and look at me, I’m just fine such as are the thousands of other people who used them up to 2 and half!
Besides, I see a 18 months old baby using a bottle as the most natural thing on Earth! My parents used them on their kids, my uncles and loads of other people until their kids were the age I’ve already mentioned, and they were and are great parents and all the kids are as normal now as adults as anyone else!
In my line of thinking a baby is a baby until he/she is 3, because toddler is just a concept such as infant!
Suri is certainly a cutie pie.
- Ana on
I’d rather see an 18-month-old with a bottle than a 3 or 4-year-old (Ryder, Kate Hudson’s son, comes to mind) with a pacifier in his mouth. Due to all Suri’s moves around the world and what could be a hectic schedule, it’s possible they have elected to allow Suri to hold onto the security of a bottle for a little longer.
- Sheri on
I must admit when I first saw the pic I said to myself it is about damn time that girl move from a bottle to a sippy cup! Then I started reading the other posts and I have to say my opinion changed. I breastfed my son until he was almost 2! If it isn’t wrong to do that, then what is the difference with the bottle?
- Tessa on
I think she’s adorable.
Re: the bottle.
My brother’s family travel/fly alot and the pediatrician recommended they give my 20-month-old nephew a bottle during take-off and landing because he was having severe ear pain and won’t use a paci.
Since the Holmes/Cruises travel so much they may be under similar instrutions.
- Jill on
wish i saw these. 
- aidan on
i just personally think a child older than a year looks silly with a bottle. just a personal opinion. luckily my daughter switched to a sippy cup at a year with no problem. i breastfed for 19 months & we very rarely used bottles, so maybe that’s why it was easier!
- karen on
What is DD? I dont understand all these abriviations!
Missed the suri pics, too bad. I was just thinking i hadnt seen a pic of her in a while.
- morgan on
morgan- DD stands for “dear daughter”. A few other abbrieviations you might see a lot on CBB:
DH- Dear Husband
DS- Dear Son
BF- Breastfeeding
CS- C-section
That said, I agree 100 percent with bostonmom and Amanda about the bottle comments. Suri is only 18 months old for crying out loud! Let her be a baby!
- Annoyomus on
I don’t agree with the bottle naysayers either, we force our children to grow up soo fast already, why take away another of their comfort items? Bottles do no harm as long as they are used properly as already stated above, why be so dang nitpicky? Its not our kid—- JUDGE NOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
