JOHNSON’S® 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine

My youngest daughter and I recently had an opportunity to sample several JOHNSON’S® Baby products as part of JOHNSON’S® 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine. This sample includes three products, JOHNSON’S® Baby Bubble Bath, JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Moisture Wash, and JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Lotion. All three products are lavender scented and are supposed to help you baby relax in preparation for a good night's sleep. In fact, JOHNSON’S® 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine is supposed to help babies sleep better in as little as one week.

The JOHNSON’S® 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine consists of three steps:

1 - A warm bath with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bubble Bath added to the water and JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Moisture Wash to clean your baby.

2 - A lotion massage with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Lotion.

3 - Quite time to help your baby relax and get ready for bed.

My daughter and I received our sample a couple of weeks ago, and although we don't bathe her every night she really does enjoy the bath portion of JOHNSON’S® 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine. Here she is enjoying her bath:

After her bath we have what has become her favorite part of the whole evening - her lotion massage with JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime Lotion. We start the massage by putting a little bit of lotion on to her hand so she can help me:

Then the two of us gently give her a brief massage, spreading the lotion on her arms, legs, chest, and back. We rub the lotion in and then get her dressed in her pajamas. Then we settle down for a short song or story and then it's off to bed.

Over the past two weeks we have done the full 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine, with the warm bath, four or five times. Each time worked really well and she slept well all night long.  For the other nights, although we didn't have time for the bath portion of the routine (life with three kids can get really busy) I have made sure that she had her lotion massage and quiet time. 

Just adding these steps to my daughter's bedtime routine has helped.  She's never been a really good sleeper, but she has been sleeping better - only waking up with teething pain once or twice in the past couple of weeks instead of waking up nearly every night.  Now, as I get her ready for bed each night, she reaches for her lotion and wants her massage. She's happier, and as a mom who enjoys not having to wake up in the night, so am I. JOHNSON’S® 3-Step BEDTIME® Routine seems to be a success and it is going to become a regular part of our bedtime routine.
