Prudential is introducing a new "baby break" of up to six months in its mortgages. Borrowers will be able to take a break from payments when having a baby, caring for a dependent relative or for a family bereavement, subject to the loan having been maintained "to the lender's satisfaction" for one year. Call 0800 000222.
