Johnson's & Aveeno Baby Review & Giveaway.
Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 8:33PM 
To say I was excited to receive the above package from Johnson's Baby & Aveeno Baby is an understatement. As a Mother of 2 little ones, we go through quite a lot of bath products. So receiving my favourite brands.... for free...to review...was kind of cool!
I've been a fan of Johnson's Baby products since Ella was born & I was thrown into the {competitive} world of baby products. There's A LOT of options out there that all claim to be the best for your baby. And a lot of options to meet all kinds of budgets & family needs. However, Johnson's has always been my pick, because it's affordable, it's trusted & it works! It also does what it claims to do :)
I was pretty excited about the Baby Bedtime collection....because I have 2 cherubs who aren't huge fans of sleep, so anything that says "clinically proven to help your baby sleep better" and is 'safe & natural'.....I'm on board! I decided to use this 3 step routine trial with Ryder.
First we bathed :) I added a few drops of the Bedtime Bath to the running water to create a bubble effect {hey, thats the best part about bathtime isn't it?? The Bubbles!!}. I then used a little more of the wash to clean him all over including his hair {not that he has much yet}.
He loves bathtime...and I was enjoying the smell of the Lavender rich creamy wash.
We then followed up with a leg & arm massage with the Baby Bedtime Oil, which also smelt divine & felt nice & silky. He loved the massage but like all fidgety boys, he'd had enough of lying still. So, a quick rub of the Bedtime Lotion on his tummy, back & neck and dressed ready for bed.
I always say that Ryder is so delicious....but after that 3 step routine, he smelt soooo good :)
I will admit that we honestly saw a different side of him after that. Normally by then, after bath, he's tired & had enough & wants to be carried, cuddled & then put to bed. But this night, he happily chilled in the baby swing & allowed us to eat our dinner while he happily watched on. A definite sense of calm about him :)
I'll be honest in saying that he didn't sleep any better that night.....but {no offence to Johnson's} I think it'll take more than lavender to get my kids to sleep deeply.....I swear they have 'energizer batteries' hidden in them somewhere lol :) However, we did notice he was definitely a lot more calm after the bath routine, during that night & the next morning! Excited about what tonight will bring with the continuation of the Johnson's Baby Bedtime products!!!
As for the Aveeno products, I'll be honest in saying that I haven't used much of them before. But VERY glad that we now have some to trial. We'll definitely be getting more. Ella's skin is quite sensitive. Most bath products, lotions & washing powders can give her instant eczema on her arms. So I stick to very mild products with her {usually Johnson's milk bath or plain baby wash}. However, Aveeno were claiming to be good for sensitive skin & dermatologist recommended.
I took a risk & used 3 of the products on the first night. The wash, shampoo & lotion. And all 3 were FAB! No reactions.....no eczema. Just fresh, clean, dreamy skin & hair. Tangle free hair also, which was a bonus!
I'm so happy to now have another natural, affordable option for Ella's sensitive skin. And although the products are advertised for 'baby use'.....I'll be using the Aveeno products too! They're divine!!
If you think you'd like to use these products.....Johnson's & Aveeno have said they will giveaway one of the exact packs I received to one Scissors Paper Rock reader :) Simply comment on this blog post, telling me which Johnson's or Aveeno Products you use & love most! One random commenter will be drawn on Monday night at 8pm 26th March 2012. The winner will receive the same 7 products I received....as pictured above. GOOD LUCK!!!Winner announced here on the blog....and on my Facebook page.
And thank you Johnson's Baby & Aveeno Baby...for the giveaway, and for making FABULOUS products!!

I love the Bedtime Bath, creates gorgeous bubbles, the smell is to die for and it calms the kids down so they sleep really well, worth every drop of goodness in that purple bottle!
Johnsons bedtime bath was a life saver with my first child and I am currently using it for my 3 month old. I haven't tried the Aveeno products but I would love to give them a try
Both my children have had eczema and neither of them have been able to use Johnson's products. My daughter (almost 4) has grown out of her eczema now, and my son (11 mths) is improving... His dermatologist recently encouraged me to change his bath wash, and I am considering Aveeno on recommendation of a friend... Would be lovely to win an Aveeno pack :)
Well ... I have never actually used any of the Johnson products, my four babies have always been Mustela babies however, Mr 8 months is definately not a good sleeper either, so any product that would calm or soothe him before bedtime is definately something I would LOVE to try! And, since my budget is not happy at the crazy ($30) price of mustela, i need to find a cheaper more price realistic product ... So would totally love the chance to win one of these packs!
I LOVE Johnson's Baby Wipes Fragrance Free!! Have used them with all 3 kiddies:)
Bedtime Bath, just because its so gentle on the skin and eyes!
They are so cute, I just love his rolls. x
We use Aveeno Baby cream, even though Bella is almost 5 it has helped with her dry dry skin & I love that it has no smell.
My favourite Aveeno product when Xavier was a baby was the Soothing Relief Creamy Wash. It seemed to be the only product that I could use on him on the odd occasion he had nappy rash - no screaming fits, just a happy baby splashing in the bath. With Xavier's little brother due in a few short weeks, I would love to have some reputable brand baby products on hand for his arrival, especially if they will help calm him for sleep time!
I love Johhson's baby bedtime bath. I don't know if that's why my little girl sleeps so well but we've used it since she was tiny and why mess with a good system ;)
Johnsons Bedtime Lotion is so lovely to massage onto my baby after a relaxing bath adn helps wind down to bed time!
I love Johnson's baby shampoo- it makes my baby's hair so soft, easy to brush and smells lovely too. :)
My favourite would be the Johnsons bedtime lotion and wash. It puts my girls stay out to sleep which is a big win for me :)
I love the Johnsons Top-to-Toe , worked well for both my babies and such a fresh, classic baby smell!
I love all the Johnson's bath time products, but our favourite is the JOHNSON'S NATURAL HEAD-TO-TOE Foaming Baby Wash. It delivers on it's promises and I love the subtle fragrance.
