A friend of the actor told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Tom insists he'll do it in his own time. He won't be bullied into showing his world his precious angel. Tom wants to obey Scientology rules about keeping babies out of the public eye."

Tom is a devout follower of the bizarre faith, founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, and is open about his beliefs.
Before Suri was born, it was claimed that Katie would have to give birth in silence.
Scientologists believe babies should enter the world without any outside noise to stop them from being mentally scarred by the delivery.
It is believed the former 'Dawson's Creek' actress gave birth as calmly as possible but did not keep a vigil of silence throughout her labour.

Meanwhile, according to media reports Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes refused to sell pictures of their new daughter Suri, after the photos were offered to the media and failed to get a significant price.

Photos of other newborn celebrity babies, including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby Shiloh, Gwen Stefani's baby Kingston and Brooke Shields' baby Grier have all graced the covers of major magazines.

According to Fox News correspondent Roger Friedman, a photo shoot of Suri was offered to photo agency Wire Image, who also brokered the picture of Pitt and Jolie's baby, right after the baby was born in April.

Photos of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt were reportedly sold to People magazine for $4 million, but pictures of Suri Cruise produced not more than a $3 million bid.
