Is there anything more heart-melting than a sleeping baby" When I watch my little ones snooze, I feel like I might burst with love looking at their sweet faces: tiny lips pursed in a heart shape, soft eyelashes resting against their smooth, chubby cheeks, chests rising and falling with each sweet breath. Ahhh. Perfection.

Of course, getting to that perfect moment can be a lot of work. It even feels impossible at times.
That?s why Johnson?s created a 3-step sleep routine to help your baby get here faster.

I am especially sold on Step 1, the soothing bath with calming aromas, since research has revealed babies bathed with a fragrant bath product cry 25 percent less at bedtime. The sweet smell of JOHNSON'S BEDTIME baby moisture wash signals your baby that it's time to relax; the massage that follows in Step 2, and the quiet time in Step 3 finishes off the job.
It?s really all about helping your baby unwind and prepare for sleep. The key is to establish a routine and stick with it, something I feel very passionately about. As a mom of 3, and soon 4, it?s definitely been my experience that you?ll have an easier time getting to this angelic moment...

...if your baby knows what to expect at bedtime. So every night she has a bath. Every night she gets an indulgent massage. Every night you have a quiet time (for us it's a story and a song together). And after that, every night she is expected to go to bed.
