Baby Bedtime Discoveries with Johnson & Johnson

Watching our baby sleep is one of the things that brings such joy to being a mother. Yesterday, I was very fortunate to have attended Johnson Baby Bedtime Discovery at the Ascott Residences. It was fun learning about the Science of Sleep.

Dr. Luis Rivera, a Fellow of the Philippine Society for Sleep Medicine, explained how important sleep is to our baby's growth and well-being. He shared to us that during sleep, there are three times more growth hormones that are released than when babies are awake. He further explained the importance of a regular bedtime routine in order to keep our babies well-rested during the time they are sleeping.

Johnson & Johnson together with some midwives shared with us the 3-Step Bedtime Time Routine that is clinically proven to stretch your baby´s sleep by as much as 23%.

Step 1: A warm bath or "punas"

 A nice warm bath or even a simple ´punas´ with JOHNSON´S^® Baby Bedtime Bath will set the tone for your baby bedtime routine. The warmth of the water, coupled with your gentle, lathering touch will soothe baby. Once you´ve established this as a regular nighttime routine, the bath will signal your baby that she´s on her way to bed.Enjoy the moment... your baby definitely will!

Step 2 : A soothing massage

The midwives shared with us the I-Love-You massage and the Milking massage which will not only get your baby ready for sleep, infant massage or Touch Therapy also has clinically proven benefits and has been shown to contribute to healthy weight gain, improve babies´ immunity and calm then when they are irritable. Spread JOHNSON´S^® Baby Bedtime Baby Lotion on your palms then stroke her with a gentle motion.

Step 3: Quiet Time

JOHNSON´S^® Baby Powder is perfect before you begin quiet time. Quiet time is the time when you bond with your baby while you hush her to sleep. Read her a bedtime story, sing a lullaby or simply softly talk her to sleep.Your voice, familiar to her from birth, will cradle her into dreamland.

Lovely and very pregnant Christine Bersola-Babao hosted the event [feeling close talaga ako..hahahah]

 Beth, me and BFF, DJ

I am so glad to finally meet fellow blogger Beth in person.She was really nice. It's also nice to share this event with my BFF, DJ. [Ano beh? Napapagitnaan ako ng dalawang payat.

Thank you so much for the goodie bag J&J! I can finally apply the 3-Step Bedtime Routine to my little girl!

Ang saya-saya ko tuloy.haha..si Alvin tuloy tanong ng tanong kung okay lang ako,kasi daw lahat okay lang sa akin..Hmmmmnn,bakit nga kaya parang ang saya ko ngayon?dahil lang ba ito sa mga extra sleep?

I also got a batch of project print outs today.Egads! a batch of print outs for a project of a 2nd grade student...
Hay! my gas! di ko kinaya ito!Noong araw kapag may project ako,naghahanap lang ako ng mga picture sa mga magazine or dyaryo o di kaya nagdo-drowing na lang kapag wala talagang makitang akmang picture.Kahit na ang pangit-pangit kong mag-drowing.Ngayon,sushal ang mga bata..bukod sa ang nanay na ang gumagawa ng project..ang mahal-mahal pa.Buti na lang 8 months pa lang ang kuting ko..hehe.
