Last week, I got invited to an event that I thought was a product launch. When I arrived at the venue, I got the shock of my life that it was actually a mommy event!!! I was like, what am I doing here? I'm single & no baby hahahaha!
Honestly, this is one of the most informative & most organized event that I have attended. This is very crucial for mommies. I learned a lot from it even though I don't think it's applicable to me. As information is so much useful, I'll just share with you what I learned. :)
The event was hosted by Tintin Bersola & the speakers were Johnson & Johnson executives & Doctor Rivera. They shared with us how important sleep is for infants. We were presented with theories of sleep. Things like stages of sleep, wake/sleep pattern development, functions of sleep, sleep evaluation & sleep problems in babies.
What better way to educate us than to provide a demo right? They did just that and it was truly a learning experience especially for mommy bloggers who attended the event. Let me share with you Johnson's Baby Bedtime Routine. This is a clinically proven technique that can result to better sleep for babies.
There are 3 steps that mommies should follow to promote better sleep of their baby:
- A Warm Bath
This is an action to signal your baby that it's time for bed. Warm water coupled with gentle lather will soothe the baby.
- Massage
A soothing, gentle massage that helps a baby relax. This is also good for baby's bone development. There are 2 massages here: One is "I Love You" massage where you'll make up the letters I, L & U by focusing on massaging the chest and stomach. Next is the milking technique wherein you concentrate on massaging the arms and legs of the baby.
- Some Quiet Time
This is where you spend quality time with your baby. Activities like singing lullabye & putting powder right after diaper change to keep baby comfortable during the night. It's best to put powder in areas like the back, underarms & other hard to reach areas.
Johnson & Johnson has a product line which is best suited for the bedtime routine. I'm pretty sure my mom used J&J products when I was still a baby. Right now, J&J has improved their products for the mommies to have the best products for their babies' development & care.
You can also go to this site and take the sleep profiler to find out if your baby is getting the most out of her/his sleep. :)
