Step One: Warm Bath

Bath time is the perfect, relaxing way to start baby’s pre-bed routine. Along with engaging your baby’s sense of smell, bath time encourages skin-to-skin contact, which can lead to improved physiological, cognitive, emotional and social development.

JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Bath is designed to gently cleanse baby’s delicate skin and leave it feeling healthy. NaturalCalm™ contains a patented blend of relaxing aromas.

  • Hypoallergenic*
  • Paediatrician and dermatologist-tested
  • Free from parabens and sulphates

*formulated to minimise the risk of allergies.

For those hair washing nights, use JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Shampoo which leaves baby’s hair soft, shiny, and smelling wonderfully fresh. Soap free, this shampoo rinses easily whilst gently cleansing to leave delicate skin and hair feeling healthy.

Step Two: Gentle Massage

Research has shown that routine touch and massage improves sleep quality and quantity when part of a before-bed routine. A soothing baby massage can also help you recognise and respond to your baby’s body language and is the perfect way to make your baby feel secure, loved and ready for sleep.

JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Lotion and JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Oil contain soothing NaturalCalm™ essences, whilst also moisturising skin, leaving it feeling healthy. ?

  • Hypoallergenic*
  • Paediatrician and dermatologist-tested
  • Free from parabens and phthalates

The JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Lotion moisturises to leave delicate skin feeling healthy, whilst the JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Oil locks in more than double the moisture than baby lotion.

*formulated to minimise the risk of allergies.

Step Three: Quiet Time

After giving your baby a warm bath and a relaxing massage, it’s time to send your baby off to sleep with a little quiet time together. Close contact between you and your little one helps calm your baby’s breathing, relaxing your baby for bed — a great reason for a post-bath cuddle.

Keep the atmosphere calm and cosy and help your baby wind down further by reading or singing softly
