A calm, realistic guide to packing your hospital bag — what you actually need for labour, postpartum, and baby care (without the overwhelm).

Becoming a parent brings overwhelming love — and sometimes, unexpected grief. At Simple Smyles, we honor the full journey: the shifts in identity, the changing body, the waves of emotion, and the beauty of finding yourself again. You are not alone — and your new season of life is worthy of love, patience, and celebration. 🌿

When I first had my kiddo, I wasn’t even sure if breastfeeding was something I wanted to do. I thought it would be short, simple — but like so much of parenthood, everything changed the moment he arrived. At Simple Smyles, we honor the full story: the beautiful, painful, powerful truth of learning to feed, love, and grow together — one moment at a time. 🌸
