Data are presented as mean (SD) unless stated otherwise.

*‘Sleep’ (control and FAB combined) versus ‘No Sleep’ (sleep and combination combined).

†Analyses use mean of 2 days from 507 participants with available data.

‡Secondary outcome to the main RCT.30 All others variables are additional outcomes.

§Analyses use mean of 3–7 days (median 4 days) from 498 participants with available data.

–, No analyses due to interaction between sleep and FAB groups.

FAB, food, activity and breastfeeding intervention; RCT, randomised controlled trial.
