The notice read: “To all customers as a business we’ve temporarily closed these aisles.

“We don’t deem them as necessities.

“Please stay safe and remember to keep your distances.”

But the aisle is stocked with baby products, including Aptamil milk, bibs and shampoo – which many parents argued are essentials.

Mums have been struggling to find goods such as nappies and milk after stockpilers cleared supermarket shelves, as the UK went into lockdown over the coronavirus. 

The sign frustrated one parent, who shared a snap on Facebook saying: “Could anyone explain how baby items aren’t necessities?? I personally think this is absolutely ridiculous!”

Hundreds of mums have shared the post, claiming closing aisles with such key items was plain “wrong”.

One mum raged: “Anyone care to explain why these items are not a necessity, does providing for a baby not count then ?”

Another said: “Are the joking?? Is that because people want everything rather than their normal supplies.”

A third said: “If I needed something for my baby, like that tape is going to stop me from going down there.”

This mum fumed: “This is ridiculous.. people are struggling to get baby milk and nappy’s etc and they’re telling us they’re not necessities. People really need to open there f*****g eyes!”

While another ranted: “I would rip that straight down! Craziness! There is not one thing on that shelf a baby wouldn’t need!”

Fabulous Digital has reached out to B&M for a comment.

 Meanwhile this mum was horrified when her toddler gives her stockpile of loo roll a bath with all her toys.

And this mum was also left in shock after she bought an 18-pack of loo roll and her toddler put them all in the bath.

Plus mums are using the pepper and glitter method to teach kids how to properly wash their hands.
