The NEST Act is like a big plan to give special gift boxes with necessary things like diapers and blankets to moms of new babies, especially those who live in places where it's hard to get help. This plan uses money from the government to work with different groups to make sure these gifts go to the families that need them the most.

H.R. 8839 is a bill to help doctors make sure pregnant moms and their babies are checked for a sickness called syphilis using better tests and methods, especially if they use special health programs like Medicaid. It also asks for more frequent checks later in pregnancy and when the baby is born, to keep everyone healthy.
