One tactic, she suggested, could be for breastfeeding mothers to find time to pump milk and store it in bottles so that they do not have to be the one to always get up with the baby.

While quick naps might not do much, Montgomery-Downs noted that 'if you're one of the lucky parents' whose infants typically nap for at least two straight hours, taking that time to sleep could be helpful.

The findings are based on 74 new mothers who were followed between either the second and 13th week of their infants' lives, or between the 9th and 16th week.

The findings were published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
