Momming ain’t easy, friends. One of the hardest parts of ‘momming,’ in my opinion, is the uncertainty. Bottle or breast? Cloth or disposables? You never know if what you’re doing is the right decision. You just make a judgment call based on the information given to you and make a decision you feel comfortable with… and hope for the best.

I count myself lucky that, over the years, I’ve built up a village of people that I can call upon in times of need.  Without any immediate family nearby, my village is comprised of close friends, coworkers, and our Walgreens pharmacist.

I know what you’re thinking… “Your Walgreens pharmacist is part of your village?!” but hear me out. Walgreens is just a mile from our home and is open 24/7/365, which is so convenient! And, as children do, my three kids always seem to be sick in the middle of the night.

… and it’s so darn rough.

As luck would have it, Miss Mila Rose started teething very early (she had one tooth breaking through at just a month and a half old!). A teething newborn is enough to make even the most experienced mom anxious. Seeing a little one in pain, battling a low-grade fever, with tender gums, is truly heartbreaking.

Thankfully Kevin, our local Walgreens pharmacist, was quickly able to help me out in figuring out the dosage of Infant TYLENOL® that is appropriate for our little lady, based on her weight. After doing some quick math, he sent me off with the TYLENOL® and a sticky note with her dosage information and instructions so that I wouldn’t forget (newborn + teething = no sleep and very little memory for this Mama).

Best yet? You can purchase TYLENOL® for just $6.99 (.5 oz, 4 oz. and 24 ct.) and $8.99 (1 oz. and 2. oz) with your Walgreens card through 12/15.

It’s the moments like these — the tiny moments with my village — that have made the biggest impact on me as a mother. I trust that dye-free TYLENOL® will help to reduce the fever and pain in as little as 15-20 minutes, but I also trust that Kevin and Walgreens — the only retailer that carries every flavor — will be there to help guide me at those moments where I need a little bit of extra help.

Like I mentioned earlier — we’re all just doing the best that we can. So draw upon your village and use them as needed. Trust them in the same way I trust Kevin and TYLENOL® with my family.

Who is part

of your village?

    Teething is awful! I can’t imagine going through it with a 1.5 month old. Tylenol is a godsend though. It’s definitely my go-to when my little guy is teething.
