Humidifier?

ErinBrooke

I keep hearing it's a good idea to have a cool mist humidifier in baby's room, but I've done a lot of research and can't find any that seem worth the money. Most of the reviews complain about leaking problems or really loud noise.

Do you have/have you registered for a humidifier? I'd love any recommendations!

We never used one but loud noise can be good. We lived in a small ranch-style home until DS was 3. We always kept a fan running for white noise -- so he wouldn't hear us.

The only thing about a humidifier is you need to be really consistent about cleaning it.

I have a warm mist humidifier from Vicks that I got at Target and it was a lifesaver when Michael had a cold.

We have been using this one in our room LOL

We bought it with the intention of moving it into the nursery eventually, but I needed it when allergy season hit and I couldn't take my meds. It's been working great for months for us, and I definitely notice a difference in my level of stuffiness when I wake up in the morning!

We have a hunter one in our room (infant DS is in the room) and a vicks one in DD's room and have them running almost every night.  I actually depend on the noise now--it's like a white noise machine.  I have never had issues with one leaking.

DD has recurrent croup and DS had pneumonia and we would not have gotten through without them.

Now they are saying that a humidifier can possibly cut down on SIDS risk b/c it keeps the air moving in the room.  Certainly can't hurt.

We registered for the Red Cross one at Target and got it to use in DD room.

I have the Cranes frog one from Target?

We only use it when he is sick or stuffy?
