The Newborn Nurse: What Parents Need To Know
SUMMARY: Rachel, founder of The Newborn Nurse, emphasizes the importance of planning for postpartum care after childbirth. Many new parents, focused on pre-birth preparations, overlook vital post-delivery support. She suggests hiring lactation consultants for breastfeeding assistance and night nurses or postpartum doulas to help with sleep deprivation, childcare, and household tasks. Rachel highlights that education for new parents is crucial, as hospitals provide limited support before sending them home. She finds her work rewarding as it enables parents to thrive with their newborns. Friends and family are encouraged to offer practical support to new parents during this challenging transition.

Committee recommends more scrutiny of Ogles’ campaign contributions | Tennessee
SUMMARY: The Office of Congressional Ethics found “substantial reason” to investigate U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles for potentially omitting or misrepresenting financial information. The inquiry focuses on a personal loan Ogles claimed to have given his campaign during the 2022 primary, initially reported as $320,000, later amended to $20,000. Ogles did not cooperate with the review, raising questions about the loan’s source, which his campaign staff could not confirm. Ogles, facing inquiries, stated he would cooperate with the FBI and believes discrepancies were honest mistakes. He successfully fended off multiple challengers in the 2022 Republican primary and was re-elected.
