When I stopped using soap bars and moved to shower gels, body washes, I had to do the same for my kids. Due to various reasons, I was just drifting away from the bathing bars in the years prior to the big shift. Plus, the body washes seemed so much easier to use. Luckily, baby hampers come with bars and washes, so, once you try both, you can continue buying what you fancy the most. That is how I stuck to body washes for my babies, too.
