The Panado Infant Drops campaign puts grown ups into a baby's shoes. By giving them a taste of what [newborns and toddlers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infant-digestive-health) experience on any given day, it cleverly shows that babies also suffer annoying pangs from time to time. As the print ads state, "Sometimes little ones get [big headaches too](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panmigrol-migraine-and-headache-relief)."

The Panado Infant Drops campaign was conceived and executed by Ireland/Davenport, an ad agency based in Johannesburg, South Africa. The [family photo moments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joyful-chaos-family) and eccentric aunts were captured by Mike Lewis. Looking up into those bright lights and strange faces would trigger a roaring headache in just about anyone, child and adult alike. With the help of the Panado Infant Drops, however, those headaches will be a thing of the past, just like these memories.
