Jennifer Hudson is sharing a few motherhood pointers with her “Dreamgirls” co-star, Beyonce, who brought her newborn daughter Blue Ivy Carter home from the hospital this week.

“Girl, get your sleep!” Hudson advised at a “Good Housekeeping” media event. “[Beyonce and I] talked about this when I had my munchkin.”

That “munchkin” J-Hud is referring to is her 2-year-old son, David, who she says, has grown up right before her eyes.

“It goes so fast. [Beyonce] is going to look up and Blue is going to be six months. Next thing you know, she’s going to be walking,” said Hudson.

While Hudson may be the one sharing advice now, perhaps Beyonce will be offering mommy-daughter tips to Hudson in a few years. The “Here I Am” singer says she’s excited about having another baby, and really wants to give little David a sister.

“I want a little girl so bad!” said Hudson. “But not right now. Give it about three more years.”
