Did you register for a humidifier?

pennlexie · April 2010

I really don't know much about these. Why do I need one? Also, if you have one, warm or cool mist?

TIA

I'm going to register for one because we live in the desert and it's very dry here. DH and I have one in our bedroom and it helps with dry skin and noses. I saw some really cute animal-shaped humidifiers at BRU and we'll probably register for one of those.

No I did not. My sister never used hers so I felt like it was one of those things we will purchase if needed.

I did, I heard they are good if the baby is sick, and with being due right around cold and flu season, I thought I should have one just in case.

we did. i always heard to get cool mist.

I will. DD used hers quite a bit when she was little. (Cool Mist)

We didn't register for one. Not all babies/children need them. We'll get one if it's recommended at a later point by the Ped.

I registered for a cool mist. The only reason I did it though was because I had to set up a WalMart registry since my family shower will be in a town where WM is the ONLY store, and I was trying to beef it up.

We just went ahead and bought one, instead of registering for one.

We live in CA where it's pretty dry. I wish I had registered for one; the first time DD got a cold (cough) we were out at the store trying to figure out what to get her. I would have much preferred to avoid that trip to BRU with a cranky, sick baby! We continue to use it when she's sick. We have a cool mist one.

We did, our home tends to stay a little on the dry side though. We have a cool mist in our room and registered for the same for LO. You could always wait and see if it is necessary after LO arrives if you are unsure whether or not you may need one

I have two, one cool mist and one not. Poor DD has allergies and picks up colds and such since starting preschool and she sleeps/feels sooo much better with them on. Where you live probably makes a big difference. It is swamp humid here in the summer but nosebleed dry here in the winter.

We didn't register for it and I figure if we need it, we can just get them after the fact. I'd hate for someone to buy it for us and never use it.

I will not be registering for one because we already have too! I think they are great! Helps when sick or dry air in the house. I use one with my allergies!
