Humidifiers in baby room

Anyone actaully use these down here? We registered for one and someone got it for us. DH had terrible asthma as a child (even spent time in a bubble at the hospital) and he thought it might be a good idea to have one. Granted he lived in Chicago where you actaully used your heater thus creating warmer/dryer air in the house. There are some other things from our registry that we didn't get so I am thinking of exchanging it. Did/do any of you find this useful in your LO's room?

Sure do A cool mist humidifier is what our doctor said is best. We use it just about every night. My younger gets sick often and this helps his breathing at night.

we also have a cool mist. when my son gets colds it makes it easier for him to breath.

I don't live down there anymore, but I'd say a cool mist humidifier is definitely a must-have...keep it.

interesting post & responses.

I always wondered how often people used them. I bought one when mario got a little sniffle at about 14 months or so and then never used it again. Its in my garage collecting dust. I always found nice long hot baths to ease the sniffles to be good. I suffer from asthma also, so we ALWAYS have the air on the cooler side of the thermostat. (plus we change the air filter (for allergy sufferes) about every 3 weeks vs 4-6 weeks)

My mil is always complaining of how cold it is in my house.

Good Luck

We have been debating on adding this to our registry... Our house is always very cold so I'm not sure if we would need the cool mist.
