More than a third of babies are living below the poverty line in the UK, a leading social research group has said.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) said low-paid families were struggling under a "rising tide of work poverty".
Despite the government saying 300,000 fewer children are living in absolute poverty than in 2010, baby banks said they were seeing an increase in users.
Vicki Miller, who used a baby bank, said: "I didn't know that support was out there."
There are more than 100 baby banks operating across the UK, providing essentials for newborns, including nappies, wipes and cots.
