Nancy O'Dell giving Halle Berry parenting advice

"We've e-mailed, and she's loving motherhood," Nancy O'Dell told PEOPLE. Berry, 41, gave birth to daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry last month.

"She is loving every minute of it, couldn't be any happier," Access Hollywood host O'Dell, who is friends with Berry, says. "She's going to be such a great mom."

"I sent her a whole page e-mail about things I wish friends had told me," O'Dell says. "I said, 'I wish people had given me this advice. They didn't, so I'm going to give it to you.' She was appreciative, really appreciative."

"I'm glad she had a girl, so the girls can play, but the other side of me went, I bet that would be a very attractive young boy to set up with my girl," O'Dell said. "I was pulling for either one."
