Advantages: good bubbles keeps skin soft possibly helps baby to sleep

Disadvantages: its a premium product so try to buy on offer

Having just loaded up my trolley at Sainsbury's with several bottles of Johnson's bedtime wash as it's currently half price I thought I should do a review for it for dooyoo

We have being using this bubble bath on our son since we brought him home from hospital 18 months ago and whether it's him or the bubble bath he generally finds his bath relaxing and enjoyable.

Johnson's as a company must surely be one of the most recognized brands of baby toiletries in the world. When I was pregnant I started to stock up on baby toiletries to use on our new arrival to ensure that we had enough to last us through the dip in my pay whilst I was on maternity leave. As a mum-to-be I had heard of Johnson's and was influenced by my own mum who had used these products on both my brother and I so it seemed a natural choice for me to stock up on the Johnson's.
I choose the bedtime range of bubble baths and creams as even as a mum-to-be I was worried would my baby be able to sleep and more importantly me too!
The bedtime range is markets as containing their "NATURALCALM TM" essences - a special blend of calming aromas. As well as their trade mark "No More Tears" formulation.

What is it like?
****************
When you squeeze this into the running water it does immediately start to produce a good amount of bubbles. At the same time you can smell various aromas being released. I personally am able to detect both lavender and chamomile as the dominate fragrances. Whether any other aromatherapy oils are used in the blend I am unsure but these two are both noticeable.
When my son was very young and we were using a baby bath for him a bottle of this bubble bath would last about 6 weeks with daily use. Now that he is in a the main bath it tends to last about 3 weeks as I tend to put more in for the amount of water used.
Through out the 18 months of using this product we have never had any problems with my sons skin. In fact his skin has often been envied by other mother's I know who's little ones have dry skin. Now whether this is down to the Johnson's baby bath and cream or his diet or the fact he was breastfeed I don't know but rather than risk changing brands I plan to stick with the Johnson's.
The claims about helping your baby sleep are they true I hear you ask, well my son has never been a great one for sleep anyway and has since we brought him home tried to stay awake during the day as he worries what he will miss I am sure. But on a night after a bath he seems to know his routine of bath and fun followed by a rub with the cream then bed. Now I am not claiming or saying every night he goes to sleep like a little angel but I am sure that this bubble bath helps him relax and switch off. I know when I pinch and use the bubble bath myself I feel sleepy and cozy after the bath. As I have used this bubble bath more myself I too found that my skin did indeed become softer so much so it tends now to be one of our main bubble baths for the whole family.

Most supermarkets and chemists sell this product. It normally is about £3 for a bottle but this week I bought it in Sainsbury's for £1.49 as they have a half price offer on so my advice would be stock up on this product now.
