Jennifer Hudson has offered her advice to new mother Beyoncé.

As previously reported, Beyoncé gave birth to her first child, Blue Ivy Carter, at the weekend (January 7).

And Hudson, who has a 2-year-old son, gave Beyoncé some motherly advice whilst speaking at a Good Housekeeping event on Tuesday (January 10). And what was her first piece of advice? Get some shut-eye. She said:

"Girl, get your sleep! We talked about this when I had my munchkin. It goes so fast. She's going to look up and [Blue]'s going to be six months. Next thing you know, she's going to be walking. Embrace it. Especially because of the lives we live, a lot of times other people have to care for themselves and you have to have that mommy time."
