Cruise buys Holmes big dummy (Agencies) Updated: 2006-04-07 14:39


Tom Cruise has reportedly bought an adult-sized dummy for fiance Katie Holmes
- to keep her silent during childbirth.
Tom hopes the large pacifier will
help Katie to stay calm. A source is quoted in America's Star magazine as
saying: "He commissioned an adult-sized "binky" for Katie to clench between her
teeth, hoping that it'll squelch her screams.
"In keeping with a Scientology silent birth, Tom is prepared to do whatever
it takes to muffle Katie's moans and groans during the delivery."
Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, in his book "Dianetics," also discourages
painkillers being used during the delivery and maintains that childbirth should
be silent to "save both the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the
home to which they will go."
The Scientology website explains: "Having a quiet, gentle birth is all about
providing the best possible environment for the birthing mother and her new
baby."
