Katie Holmes Agrees Motherly Contact With Infant Is Bad
Katie Holmes has been banned from speaking to her baby for a week after it is born, it has been reported. The pregnant actress has agreed not to talk to her new arrival, believed to be a girl, for at least seven days after she has entered the world, in accordance with fiancé Tom Cruise's Scientology beliefs.
Katie, who is due to give birth any day, has already promised Tom she will deliver the child in complete silence, and she will also have very little contact afterwards.
A source told Closer magazine: "Katie respects Tom's dedication to Scientology. She is devoted to him and wants to bring up the child the Scientology way."
L. Ron Hubbard - the founder of the strange sci-fi cult - writes in the religion's creed, that all followers must live by, that new born babies must not hear their mother speak for a week so they will not associate their voice with the trauma of birth.
The creed also states that immediately after leaving the safety of the womb the baby should "be wrapped somewhat tightly in a warm blanket, very soft, and then left alone for a day or so" and no medical examinations must take place within the first week of the baby's life.

That's what the word is. Multiple articles in the news on this one.

I've read a mother's touch helps babies develop faster...this one is denied that.

When Tom's not in the room, I have no doubt she'll be talking and cooing every chance she gets.

It doesn't get much sicker or unnatural than this.

| Geeze, I'm all for anyone including Tom Cruise to have any religious beliefs they want, kooky or not, but for crying out loud, this doesn't have even a thread of common sense to it. |

Is it worth the money and promised roles?
Kidman only adopted as part of their deal. This girl is actually having a baby and going through with this harmful nonsense.
