SMILING IT FORWARD™ through Doctors Visits

November 19, 2014 by Guest Writer Leave a Comment

This is a guest post written by Priscilla over at It’s Peachy Keen.

The following post is sponsored by TYLENOL®.

Do you remember taking your baby to the doctor for the first time? I clearly remember taking my first baby to the doctor knowing she had to get a shot. It broke my heart to hear her cry.

For the rest of her first year I gave her TYLENOL® right before we went to the doctor when I knew she would be getting shots. This really helped her be more comfortable during the doctor visit and definitely after. It also helped me not feel so sad because she wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.

My son on the other hand was a different story. When he got his 1 year shots, he looked at the doctor like “what the heck man?” Then started to push the doctor’s hand away. The doctor held his hands back and gave him the shot in the leg. My son just looked at the doctor with not a single tear in his eyes but gave him evil eye. Once he got the lollipop, all was forgiven!

But even when the shots hurt, after a minute of tears, my kids would wipe their eyes and be back to their happy little selves. It’s so hard to see our kids in pain but the smiles that come after they are feeling better makes you forget everything else. Sure enough if someone is feeling grumpy in our house, a smile and laughter from someone else soon becomes contagious and we are all smiling it forward.

Share a Smile to help a child feel better. Join TYLENOL® – a brand relied upon by moms for nearly 60 years – by SMILING IT FORWARD™.  Upload a photo that makes you smile and $1* will be donated to Children’s Health Fund to help ensure a doctor’s visit is always within reach for children in need.

* Between June 23, 2014 and November 30, 2014, McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., the makers of TYLENOL® is inviting anyone 18 and older to upload a “smile” photo on the TYLENOL® Facebook page. Each approved “smile” will trigger a $1 donation from TYLENOL® to Children’s Health Fund, with a minimum donation of $75,000 and a maximum donation of $100,000. Review Terms and Conditions for complete program details. For information about Children’s Health Fund, visit www.childrenshealthfund.org
