The survey, which was commissioned as part of P&G's Everyday Effect campaign, found that having quality time with their partner uninterrupted also topped the list, with being spontaneous and changing plans at the last minute coming in at third place. This was followed by uninterrupted social time with friends and being able to eat out.
Kirstie Allsopp, TV presenter and ambassador for P&G's Everyday Effect campaign, said: "In the first few weeks after having your baby, you are mostly occupied with nothing else but your new born.
"But as you settle into a routine, it's easy to find yourself looking back to your life 'pre-baby' and thinking about the things that have changed.
"One of the biggest differences is the amount of sleep you get and the results seem to back this up with just being able to lie in bed for as long as you like the thing new mums miss the most.
"It's something so simple that is easily taken for granted before you have children, but once your baby is born, you would do anything for a bit of uninterrupted sleep and a relaxing few hours in bed.
"It's the little things which can often make the biggest difference, so someone offering to look after your baby for an hour or two so you can just doze in bed for a while is invaluable for many new mums."
The research also found that more than four in 10 new mums felt the first six weeks following their baby's birth is a 'whirlwind', with almost half saying that while they were happy, they were exhausted. Only 15% of mothers admitted they felt in control and organised following their child's birth.
Elsewhere, new mums said it took them an average 10 and a half weeks to settle into their new role as a parent. To help make the transition to parenting easier, mums said they would rather have someone offer them help than buy them a present, with a quarter of respondents claiming the most useful thing someone did for them after the birth was to look after their new born whilst they caught up on some 'me time'.
New mums were also grateful for friends and family offering to cook and clean so that they could spend as much time with their new born as possible.
