Alfie's bathtime

The outcome of giving Alfie a bath is to relax him& get him ready to go to sleep. I usually give him a bath every couple of days, and an hour or so before his last bottle. This means that Alfie can fall asleep after his last bottle and be chilled out& unwind. 

I use the following products-


I love all these products, they smell amazing and make Alfie smell gorgeous. 

The Johnson's baby bedtime range is amazing, it's a lifesaver and I actually do believe that it helps your baby to sleep better. It works on Alfie anyway! We use the baby bedtime bath in his bath, it produces lots of bubbles and smells great. We also use the Johnson's camomile baby shampoo, it smells nice too. I want to try the lavender one next time I buy some baby shampoo. I don't really use a body wash religiously on Alfie because he doesn't get dirty so I think the bubble bath is enough for now that he's little.  

For afters I use, the baby bedtime powder. It smells the same as the bedtime bath (amazing). I put it all over his body to make sure he's bone dry. (Be careful with powder round baby's eyes, nose& mouth as they can breathe it in). And it makes him smell scrummy! 

When we do nappy changes I always use sudocrem to prevent nappy rash, it's great for everything really so I would keep a tub handy wherever you go! When Alfie was a 2months old he got baby acne so we used it on his spots and it cleared them up lovely. He has some dry skin too, which is inherited from me (sorry baby). So we use it on his dry patches of skin. Thankfully, it's not as bad as mine was when I was his age and let's hope it keeps away. TOUCHWOOD

I like to give Alfie a little bit of a massage after bath time and apparently it helps the digestive system! I do it for the chilling out factor and he loves it. The cream is thick and absorbs very quickly into the skin leaving it so soft and moisturised. 
I also use this on my skin after I've been in the bath as it's that good! 

The thermometer is a cheap one from mothercare but it does the job, would recommend :-) 

Does anyone else use these products? Do they help your baby sleep better?

  1. Aww bless, I haven't tried the bedtime range but we do use the normal Johnson's bath bubbles and we also use the top to toe wash which I recommend. Tia has very little hair so she doesn't have shampoo. I haven't tried that cream either but it sounds fab so I will pick a pot up soon. I adore the bodyshop baby cream, it smells edible!
