JOHNSON’S® Science of the Senses™ campaign

There is a strong body of existing and emerging research suggesting that Multisensory Stimulation – the concurrent stimulation of tactile, olfactory, auditory and/or visual stimuli – benefits the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of babies especially during their first 3 years of life.

Multisensory experience is central to the World Health Organization recommendations for early care and healthy baby development.³ That’s why ordinary moments, such as bath time and massage, can become extraordinary opportunities to strengthen the parent-child bond and stimulate baby’s growth and development in amazing ways. Like you, we understand the importance of these moments.

As healthcare professionals you can put evidence-based knowledge into practice and encourage parents to stimulate multiple senses during everyday rituals, such as bath time.
