is there anything specific I need to look for in a humidifier?

LO is insanely congested so I'm looking for a humidifier to try to help- anything specific I need to look for in terms of size, product info, etc? I am looking either at Target or Amazon.

the all do the same... humidify. some are loud, we like loud for the extra white noise. make sure you get one where you can buy a replacement filter easily! that was our first mistake

I like the heated ones, not the cool-air mist ones. You clean them with vinegar, and they don't need replacement filters or get moldy bc the water is boiled. We have a Vicks one that I got at Target a few years back, and it's good. hth

The motor on ours (super old, but huge and loud=holds a lot of water and a lot of white noise) just died yesterday. The one thing I didn't like about it was that we had to search for and order the filters online. So I agree, get one with a filter that is easily found.
