our baby bedtime routine | johnson & johnson

if there is one thing i have learned as a mama to 4 babes, 5 and under, it’s that babies thrive on routine. i’ve always been a huge advocate for consistency and not only does it help keep my own sanity, but it also promotes a great night’s sleep leading to amazing benefits + growth for our little ones. i’m so excited to share our baby bedtime routine featuring JOHNSON’S® Bedtime® collection!

while we aim for an 8pm bedtime, there is always a little give and take based on the nightly activities with the older 3 babes. i tend to be a little more stricter on our ‘routine’ than i am about a ‘schedule’..and here’s a glimpse into what our baby bedtime routine looks like with a general timeframe to get these sweet cheeks down for the night!

7:30 – baby massage, lotion + jammies
our days in the neonatal intensive care unit when the kids were born prematurely taught us how important touch was for our babies. after a relaxing bath is the perfect time to include a soothing baby massage using the JOHNSON’S® Bedtime® Baby Lotion… a time to connect, bond and love on your little one through touch and smell, promoting a healthy, longer night sleep.
**pro mom tip: go slow and read your baby’s body language. keep a firm, constant touch and keep trying…it’s like a slow dance, you get better the more you try!

7:45 – book + quiet snuggles 
after maisley girl gets relaxed and in her jammies, the very last thing we do is read a book before a little snuggling and lying her down to sleep. we have always laid our babies down awake to promote self-soothing and healthy sleeping habits.
**pro mom tip: sniff that sweet baby head and soak it all in… the days are long but the years are short and these precious baby snuggles are all too fleeting.
8:00 – bedtime
