Sweet dreams baby,

Oh don’t we all wish to have a baby that sleeps peacefully all night long, if you have small baby a good nights sleep is precious.
My baby fortunately slept well my daughters first born not so well and last year as a present for my daughters second baby I bought her a bar of JOHNSON'S® Baby Creamy Soap with Lavender and Chamomile.
I am a great believer in the sleep inducing effects of a warm bath just before bed time. I also believe that smells and massage help calm the senses bring about that sleepy feeling.

Johnson’s is an American company that first made medical products in 1885 they have made baby soaps and bathing products for over 100 years. Johnson’s products are available world wide.
This soap costs about 50p per bar

The Johnson’s baby creamy soap with lavender and camomile is available in a bar form. It is presented in a lavender coloured wrapper with the Johnson’s logo on it and the usual contents and descriptions.

The soap has an easy grip shape to help you to hold on to the soap when it is all wet and slippery. Small babies also have an easy grip shape support their back and hold firmly under the arms, I have know some babies wriggle and slip out of parents clutches though .

Opening the packet I sniffed the soap it was a light lavender smell gentle not overpowering the smell was soapy too.

Prepare a warm bath in a warm bathroom have everything you need ready.
To wash and soothe baby ready for sleep make a lather of this lavender soap on baby’s skin. You can do this directly onto baby’s skin if you are able, or you can get lather onto a wet sponge or flannel and soap baby all over. If you do this in a gentle way, speaking softly saying rhymes made up ones or ones like round and round the garden like a teddy bear while you are washing baby this will help soothe baby too.

This soap, produces a nice soft creamy lather.
Remember a baby covered in soap is a slippery thing hold on well or baby will slip under the water , its probably best to wash small areas of baby at a time an arm, a leg ,a tummy and then rinse the soap of before soaping the next area .
While you are soaping a baby with Johnson’s lavender soap you can say the name of the body part you are soaping this will be the beginnings of language development learning body part names
This soap creates a good soft lather and you just get a hint of lavender smell. The soap cleanses baby’s delicate skin well.

Rinse the soap of baby and then have the warm towel ready to dry baby. When baby is all dry you will be just able to get a lavender soapy smell from their skin. After a bath is a good time for some baby massage before a last feed and snuggling up in bed for a restful night.
Bath time with baby can be soothing and restful as well, as fun and sometimes chaotic. A time for interacting with baby and getting lots of baby smiles.

A bath time is a good opportunity for bonding with baby its great if dad gets home early enough so that he can bath baby both will feel calm and rested after bathing baby with Johnson’s Baby Creamy Soap with Lavender and Chamomile.

I am sorry I can not tell you for sure if this soap really does help all babies sleep better but I do know a warm bath and gentle activities before bed does work.
Try it on your baby and see.

After a busy day This soap might be good for an adult to use too, I sometimes could do with a soap to use that will help me relax and soothe the daytime stresses before I go to bed .

There may be a few babies that can not use this soap if your baby has or there is a family history of asthma or allergies breathing problems could occur, so check with your Dr before use if you are doubtful. My grandson has excma and my daughter reluctant to use this on him when he was a baby.
As with all soaps keep out of eyes and do not let baby play with it on his/her own.

I have listed the ingredients below.
Ingredients
Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Palmitate, Fragrance, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Titanium Dioxide, Etidronic Acid, Red 33, Blue 1

Baby’s bath time is a special time of day be relaxed have fun and enjoy bathing your baby. If you use this soap it could just add a little more relaxation for baby, but whatever soap you use bath time is one of the best time of a new baby’s day
