Bedtime – something all of us look forward to (especially when our babies are constantly on the move). Some nights can still be a struggle with getting our little ones down but if there’s one thing I’ve learned, routine plays a major role in the length and quality of sleep. Keeping consistent with bedtime and how we introduce it has improved Knox’s overall sleep and thanks to JOHNSON’S® 3-step BEDTIME® routine, we’ve seen such a major improvement in how quickly he falls asleep and stays asleep. The entire collection is made with soothing NATURALCALM® aromas which we love. Another thing we all can sleep easy about is the entire JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® collection contains absolutely no parabens, phthalates, sulfates or dyes and is hypoallergenic – so it’s gentle enough to use on Knox’s sensitive baby skin.

With this blog post, I’ll walk you through JOHNSON’S® super easy 3-step BEDTIME® routine that’s helped Knox’s sleep.

 

1. Bath Time

We begin Knox’s bedtime routine with a soothing warm bath with JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Bubble Bath. It makes some pretty big bubbles which turns bath time into fun time (for all of us). We also love adding in a few toys and books for him to play with so he can learn and have fun at the same time.

For washing, we use JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Calming Shampoo and JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Moisture Wash for a tear-free experience. It’s soft, gentle and feels amazing on his skin and ours. Best of all, because it’s tear-free, Knox can continue playing with his toys without us having to tilt his head back or shielding his eyes if any soap gets in.

 

2. Massage

As mentioned in my previous JOHNSON’S® COTTONTOUCH™ post, Knox’s favourite part after his bath is the massage. This step is so important to us, in fact, if we don’t have time for a bath, this is the one step that’s never skipped since it does make a difference in his quality of sleep. As soon as we begin to give him a massage, he calms right down and enjoys every minute of it (but really, who wouldn’t?). For bedtime, we love using JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Lotion. Its clinically-proven mildness formula is designed specifically for baby’s delicate skin so once again, it’s gentle enough to use.

 

 

3. Quiet Time

After Knox’s jammies are on, we settle in our big rocking chair, dim the lights and play calming music while we read to him. We choose two short books and read them quietly while snuggling up and giving him a few short hugs and squeezes before he goes to bed. We find this has really improved our bonding time with him and because he is so calm, he really takes in what we’re reading to him.

These three easy steps have been so helpful with Knox’s bedtime routine and have really made it special for us as parents to bond over him. I even find it helps us personally unwind after a long day, helping us to relax and enjoy this time spent together. As soon as I see him begin to rub his eyes or even yawn, we know this is the time to turn the lights even lower, hand him his warm bottle and watch him doze off to sleep.

 

 

It’s never too early to begin a routine with your baby and the earlier you begin, the easier it is to establish a solid bedtime routine. I encourage you to try JOHNSON’S® 3-step BEDTIME® routine which can help improve your little one’s sleep in just 7 days.
