There were many things I was unsure of as I became a mom. One thing I knew I wanted was a structured nightly routine and for my child to go to bed without a fight! Today I thought it would be fun to share with you a few ways we structured our night time moments to insure a good nights rest for everyone. After all, I am a much better mom when I have sleep behind me!
Obviously the first part of setting aside a night time schedule is consistency. Every night should be pretty much the same. Of course life happens and there are nights that are will be thrown off schedule. That’s OK as long as you jump back into the rhythm the next night! For a baby/toddler, consistency is so important for them. It is amazing to watch how they know exactly what is coming next after a few cycles. This makes them feel safe and secure. Who wouldn’t want that for their child?!
Bath time is probably the most important part of any night time routine. As your little one grows he or she will probably come to love bath time. George has always loved a good bubble bath from the time he was a baby till today. He still jumps at the moment I say “do you want a bubble bath?!” If there is any brand that is closely tied with bath time, it is the JOHNSON’S® brand. Today I am so excited to chat about their products that now have no parabens, no phthalates, hypoallergenic In today’s world, a brand wanting to provide clean products for your little one should be celebrated. JOHNSON’S®, have created their bath time products with 50% fewer of the ingredients, no dyes and are now more naturally derived. Over the years, JOHNSON’S® have listened to parents from all over the world and reformulated their products, inside and out, to set a new standard for gentle.
For our bath time routine I use the Bedtime Bubble Bath to get those really fluffy bubbles every kid dreams about. This creates a fun environment for George to play with his favorite toys relax in the warm bath. There is nothing like a warm soak that will get any baby/toddler ready for slumber faster! I enjoy using the Bedtime Moisture Wash to give my child a gentle clean that keeps his skin from drying out. The winter months are long up here in New York and that is very important to me.
After George has played for a bit we dry off and head to his room where the lights are dim, soft music is on and the Bedtime Lotion is waiting. There is something about a simple post bath massage with this wonderful lotion that sets the stage for a peaceful transfer to bed. From there we read 3 or 4 books, sing a song, say a prayer and turn the lights out. George has been the best sleeper since around 6 months of age till today. I credit it all to having a consistent night time routine.
I easily found these newly formulated products at my local Target. What mom does not like shopping at Target?! From the dollar spot to grocery shopping to grabbing pull ups, Target has it all. Target always provides an easy shopping experience and their fabulous stock of the JOHNSON’S®, products makes any mom’s life easier.
When you can grab your child’s necessities and your necessities in one place, that is a win.
