3-year-old Cruz Beckham was recently spotted sucking away on a pacifier.

Most pediatricians recommend that the pacifier be taken away by 12 months of age. Prolonged use of a pacifier could lead to delays in speech development. I guess that doesn’t concern David and Victoria Beckham, after all, they can afford the best speech therapist around.

Cruz isn’t the only celeb toddler to keep his pacifier well beyond the recommended age. Kingston Rossdale still has one at age 2.

And don’t forget about Violet Affleck, who was photographed just after her 2nd birthday with a pacifier in her mouth.

So why is it that Suri Cruise with a bottle makes headlines everywhere, but Cruz Beckham with a pacifier doesn’t even get noticed?

Is it because society is more accepting of the Beckham family than the Cruise family or is it because people just love to hate on Tom and Katie?
