New Mums Get Enough Rest
West Virginia University found out that new mothers do get enough sleep for the first four months after labouring, just as recommended. However, the sleep is frequently disrupted by their newborn babies. This may lead to exhaustion and depression. Indirectly, the work performance can be affected as well. This research has refuted the earlier study that showed that new mothers generally have insufficient sleep. One suggestion has been raised, that is mothers can store their milk in bottles so that they no need to get up frequently with their babies, especially during midnight.

Is it considered as quality sleep when new mothers are frequently disrupted by their babies? I don't think the 7 hours sleep is considered as enough sleeping time if that is the situation. Moreover, I think new mothers should have more sleep after labouring. Their health is weak during these few months as well.
