Brooke Shields Gives Tom Cruise Fiancée Katie Holmes Baby Advice By Julie Pike
May 23, 2006 Brooke Shields knows a little about postpartum depression. The gorgeous mom suffered from the affliction after her first baby and was slammed by Katie Holmes fiancée Tom Cruise for the way she dealt with it with drugs.
Maybe Katie Should Read Brooke's Book
Now that Katie reportedly is suffering from a bit of the baby blues - Brooke can give some advice to the fabulous Katie Holmes, at least through her book 'Down Came the Rain.'

***

Her tips from the book:

--Learn about it: "It’s important to get educated and talk about how you are feeling."
--Ask for help: "It's extremely treatable, but not getting help of some kind is dangerous,"
--Don't try to suppress it: Postpartum depression is beyond your control.
--Don't blame yourself: Having it does not mean you are a good mother."

***

Brooke struggled - but came away a better mother and a better person by sharing her problems with her public.
Now hopefully Katie's baby blues are mild and pass quickly - but if it is postpartum depression - she should follow a doctor and this book's advice.
--Julie Pike

I don't think she is having anything other than what most women have. I think it is all a ploy to get Tom's female fans back. I was never a fan and never will be and he should STFU about postpartum.

I don't think Tom is going to let Kat(i)e read that book... she is too busy reading scientology crap...

Sometimes I feel sorry for Katie and sometimes not. I hope she understands the mess she has got herself into though!
