Concerns parents being forced to steal baby formula to feed children
It's as the cost of products continue to rise.
There are concerns the UK's on the brink of a public health crisis with parents stealing baby formula to keep their children fed.
Figures from First Steps Nutrition show that the cost of the cheapest brand has risen by 45 percent in the past two years.
Tubs of formula are now believed to cost from between 9 pounds and 19 pounds.
This woman, who wants to remain anonymous, is on statutory maternity leave and says inflation means she always runs out of cash.
Christine Davey is from baby basics in West Cumbria.
Baby Basics is a volunteer-led project aiming to support new mothers and families who are struggling to meet the financial and practical burden of looking after a new baby.
She said: "Within our referral data we're seeing an increase in toiletry bundles and and for nappies, much more than last year. We usually provide moses basket starter packs for new born babies that include clothing and toiletries and the essentials that a young family need.
"We've had conversations with health professionals about the increase in formula and other essentials, but formula is not something we're allowed to provide. We try our best to help with other essentials though, and we provide things like baths and changing mats.
"There are hardship funds people can tap into too if they are struggling and need a bit of support. I would encourage people to look at resources locally and reach out."
