Actor Hugh Jackman has decided against passing along parenting advice to new mum Nicole Kidman.

The X-Men star, a father of two, confesses he didn't like receiving advice when he was a new parent, so he spared friend and Australia co-star Kidman and her husband Keith Urban any tips when they welcomed daughter Sunday Rose earlier this month.

He says, "I didn't give any advice because anyone who's actually had kids knows there's nothing more annoying than all the advice you get on how to do it.

"You know you're going to stuff it up in some way or other. Actually the best bit of advice was from the guy who delivered the baby, when my first son Oscar was born.

"He came in and the birth happened about two minutes later and as he was leaving he said, 'Congratulations, don't rock the baby.'

"Cut to two weeks later, the baby won't sleep and we're rocking it. That's the only advice I give. Don't rock the baby because you end up spending your life doing it. But I didn't give that to Keith or Nicole."

Kidman also has two adopted children, Connor and Isabella, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
