Tom Cruise and Katie HolmesNot only has Katie Holmes got to keep quiet during the imminent birth of her baby, she’s apparently agreed not to talk to it for at least seven days after it’s been born either.

According to Scientology beliefs, if new born babies hear their mother speaking, they will associate that voice with the trauma of birth so Katie will have to distance herself from her baby in its first few days.

A source has told Closer magazine that Katie’s agreed to do it out of her love for fiance Tom Cruise : “Katie respects Tom’s dedication to Scientology. She is devoted to him and wants to bring up the child the Scientology way.”
