The cost of living crisis has left many Brit families with young children in financial hardship.

To help, Fabulous is launching Baby, Bank On Us, in partnership with , and baby banks across the UK.

Mum-of-two Christina is unable to work and says the baby bank helps her provide essentials like nappies for her one-year-old daughterCredit: John Owens/Save the Children.

An exclusive Fabulous survey of 2,000 British mums unearthed some heartbreaking statistics.

27% report rationing nappies and baby wipes, 39% have missed meals so their children can eat and 15% can’t afford to buy their kids any birthday presents.

Sadly, 3% say their children don't have a safe space to sleep at night.
