New mom Eva Mendes covers the April issue of Women’s Health and opens up about happy family life with beau Ryan Gosling and their 5-month-old daughter Esmeralda.

On sleep deprivation: “I’m actually enjoying the sleepless nights because it’s bonding with my little girl.”

On doling out advice to new moms: “I don’t feel like I’ve really earned the right. I want to respect all the moms out there. They’re going to be like, ‘You know what? You’re a few months in. Just shut up.’”

On protecting her daughter from the media: “I believe there is a public self and a private self. My sisters and my good friends are experiencing that now [with] Facebook and Instagram. When they freak out about a friend of theirs posting a bad picture of them, I’m like, ‘Well, imagine how I feel! Get used to it!’”
