Although they barely knew each other in the past, new mother Christina Aguilera says she’s been getting some great parenting tips from Nicole Richie.

“I didn’t know much about Nicole, but because our little ones are born one day apart and through mutual friends I’ve had the opportunity of getting to know her and I was blown away with how great of a mom she is,” the “Dirrrty” singer told Pop Tarts at her Post-AMAs party on Sunday night at the brand new Target Terrace at L.A Live.

Not only do the twosome dish on babies Max and Harlow, but Christina even looks to the fellow celeb for childcare suggestions.

“I actually ask her for advice because she has a lot of great things that she does for her little one,” she reveals. “She’s even a little more stricter with battery operated toys and what not, she’s a great woman.”
