While the kids are sleeping, their body can produce up to 3x growth hormones, but is always dependent on how peaceful and the amount of time the baby is asleep.
When a baby entered deep sleep stage, the highest amount of growth hormones are released. So if your has a better and deeper sleep, the MORE growth hormones are released! And what you must know, growth hormones are at its best production stage during the early life. The best gift you can give to your baby is to maximize the release of growth hormones on her body and that is by providing her a better and deeper sleep.
So how much sleep does the kid needs?
Although every kid has different needs, below are some guidelines on how much sleep a kid need:
If your kid’s sleep stat is close to the above stats, rest assured as your baby is getting enough sleep, but if not, you certainly need to help your kids attain a good night sleep. So what can we do?
First let us define what is a GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. so I would like to share with you The ABC of Better Baby Sleep.
A regular bedtime routine
Be in bed before 9PM
Children should fall to sleep on their own.
It is very interesting to note how a bedtime routine can reduce the length of time needed to fall sleep. It can also reduced the times the baby awakes at night and even so the time needed to make the baby sleep again. The best part about it is baby’s sleep time increased and Mom’s anxiety and tension reduced to more than 50%!
And yes, the routine, the solution to our bedroom battle.. It is so easy and so fun to do.. for sure you will love this routine and will look forward to it everyday… and your kids will have the benefit of growing bigger and growing closer to your.
Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Routine has 3 steps.
Step 1 Warm Bath
Using JOHNSON´S® Baby Bedtime Bath, set the mood by giving the baby a warm bath. I this routine will be established, it will indicate or it will be a sign that it is already their bedtime. A warm bath can relax their body and you too can enjoy this by being a bit playful to your kid. If you are not sure how warm the water should be, try testing the water using your elbow. If it is too hot for your elbow, then it is too hot for the kids.

Step 2 A soothing massage
JOHNSON´S® Baby Bedtime Baby Lotion is your partner on this step. This is my favorite step because it gives us more bonding time. The kids love it when I massage them and I think it also gives them assurance that their mommy love them so much.
You can also use JOHNSON´S® Baby Oil for this step.

Step 3 Quiet Time
So after massaging your baby, you can put JOHNSON´S® Baby Powder before sharing a quiet moment. After that, you can read them stories or sing a soft music to them. Me and my kids love to cuddle and as they fall asleep.

MASSAGE and a short CHIT-CHATI give them a massage with Johnson&Johnson Lavender Bedtime Lotion for about 15 minutes. A drop of lotion with our calm hands in their soft skin will make us happy to make this activity a part of every evening. While having a massage we chat also about the story we read and what they learn.A massage is a relaxing technique that calms, soothes and relaxes our baby/kids. It is also a wonderful bonding method and is very much enjoyed by both parents and baby.
i've been using johnsons bedtime for my baby kasi sumasarap ang sleep ni baby kapag un ang gamit nia.. =)
PAgtapos na ang Agua bendita, thats the sign that my kids should have their warm bath of Johnsons and johnsons. So off to the bathroom we go, have a warm bath. Change to pajamas, massage and powder time. I see to it that i lay beside them so they sleep faster or read them books or play kilitian until they doze off to sleep. That's our usual routine. my eldest is now 4 yrs old and she usually reminds me this routine every night. thanks,Levy Jane Baldovino (already included my details in your form)
very effective talaga ung advice ng j&j! un ung ginagawa ko kay baby khyrie, my 4 months old baby. in additional to this, i find a way to feel what she wants. connection between 'mother and daughter' definitely works. when we're on the bed na, i make her feel the overflowing love and warmth that i have for her. i talk to her, and tell her how much i love her. this gives her the feeling of comfort and relaxation, plus i gently rub her back until na antokin na sya, then finally fall asleep..
I am a mother to 5 boys. Since my eldest and up to my youngest baby, who is 6 months old now – I only use Johnson and Johnson products from head to toe. At night before putting them sleep, I would let them have a half bath with johnsons baby bedtime bath. Massage their backs with johnsons baby oil and put johnsons baby powder all over their body. My older kids would play until they get tired but the youngest one needs some massaging and singing and he will be sleeping in no time. Roselyn Velasco
I have a four years old daughter Kathy that seems so much like a lady. She acts very maturely most especially at night time. She is used to taking a bath at night with johnsons baby milk bath but since the day my sister in law told me about the baby bedtime bath her night time bath became more enjoyable. She loves the scent. Its scent is the signal of a very peaceful sleep. April Lee Mondido
I gave birth to my baby alexia last june 23. since her birth and up to now I have been using Johnson and johnsons products, it’s a first choice since almost all the mothers I know uses them for their babies. My baby always sleeps soundly at night I know that its because of the little routine we do every night. Since she is still an infant – it’s a warm half bath and a warm massage with baby oil that’s always constant in our bed time routine. I sing to her before she goes to sleep. And its always a happy morning for the two of us. Jean Pacoma
Putting my son Sean to sleep every night isn’t a pain. Since he is so used to taking a half bath at night and to the routines we do since he was a baby. Everything is constant – from the johnsons baby products, the ritual of massaging her legs, back and arms, and bonding with him. Night time is our favorite bonding time.Donna Retanan
My eldest and unica hija is my greatest love. I shower her with all the best. With that I only trust Johnson and johnsons products. For her bedtime routine – it’s the usual half bath, massage time and playing time that we do. Gemma Flores
