Expanding NEST Kits for New Parents | Santa Fe News

Advocates are rallying in Washington to expand the Newborn Essentials Support Toolkits, a program helping new moms and babies with diapers, wipes, and postpartum supplies—already aiding 1,000 families in New Mexico. Since launching in 2023, NEST has distributed 18,000 kits across 15 states, easing the staggering $15,000+ cost of early childcare. Now, a bipartisan bill aims to make it nationwide by 2030, but progress is stalled. With support growing from New Mexico lawmakers, the push is on to ensure every new family gets the essentials they need without added financial stress.
