Do you / will you use a humidifier?

Will I need a humidifier with all the humidity down in Southern Florida? Do you use one or are you planning to use one? Should I put it on my registry or just wait and see if I need one later.
Thanks!!

    I've only ever used it once when J had a stuffy nose when he was smaller. Otherwise, not at all. 

    That being said I didn't register for it because I already had one from when I was since a year earlier. If you don't already have one I'd say register for it.

    We have a humidifier as well and have used it whenever the boys have a cold. No complaints here and it has been very useful as whenever they are sick, coughs tend to be worse at night and the humidifier has helped. I've never heard of the level of humidity in a city reflecting on the need of having or not having a humidifier.

    We have 2 and use them when the girls are sick.  I have found them to help a ton when they have coughs (which seems to be a lot lately).  I definitely recommend you register for one or have it on hand - we didn't and when DD1 was 3 months old and had her first bad cough I was out at 10pm buying one.

    Ditto.

    Besides, the AC you have running at all times controls the humidity in your home.
