As a first-time mom it took me months to even think of developing a nighttime routine for McKenna. I thought I could just lay her in her bassinet at bedtime and she would magically fall asleep. If I could only redo one thing from her first year I would definitely incorporate a bedtime routine from the start. Since we've started using this tried and true nighttime routine McKenna falls asleep faster and stays asleep longer! Of course, a tried and true nighttime routine isn't complete without using tried and true gentler products from JOHNSON'S®!
- The first step in our tried and true nighttime routine is running a warm bath using JOHNSON'S® Bedtime Bath as bubble bath. What I love most about it is that its hypoallergenic and free of harsh fragrances, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and dyes. It has a light lavender scent that calms McKenna down as soon as I set her in the tub.
- When its "hair wash night," I wash and detangle her hair with a cleansing conditioner and follow up with a leave-in conditioner and oil to make sure her curls are super moisturized. The NaturalCalm aromas of the JOHNSON'S® Bedtime Bath definitely help since this part of her nighttime routine is her least favorite! I'll be doing a baby hair care routine post featuring all of my favorite products for her natural hair for the blog soon, so keep checking back for that.
- JOHNSON'S® Bedtime Moisture Wash is the perfect gentle cleanser for McKenna's delicate skin. JOHNSON'S® added an easy-to-use pump to this creamy body wash, which is super useful when trying to wrangle a squirmy, slippery toddler!
- After a warm bath its time a soothing massage with JOHNSON'S® Bedtime Lotion. This moisturizing, hypoallergenic lotion leaves her skin soft and smooth and relaxes her even more before quiet time. A fresh pair of PJs (how adorable is the cupcake pattern on this pair?!) and a clean diaper and we're almost ready for bed!
- Our final step is nursing in McKenna's rocking chair while listening to a white noise machine. This is the perfect way for us to bond and completely relax just before she falls asleep.
JOHNSON'S® has listened to parents from around the world and reformulated our products, inside and out, to set a new standard for gentle. My parents used Johnson's products for their children and now these products are even gentler, so I'm proud to say I am, too. With 50% fewer ingredients and more naturally derived formulas my high standards and expectations for baby products have been exceeded.
As a millennial mom my second home is Target. I always seem to spend too much time wandering around the baby aisles, letting McKenna play with different toys, and too much money after leaving! It's also my favorite place to find these JOHNSON'S® products and plenty of other bath time essentials.
