Humidifiers?

BTBergstromBTBergstrom member
in March 2014 Moms
So lo has been having some congestion, not a runny nose but I can hear the snot in there when she breathes sometimes. I have been doing saline spray and the bulb but my mom told me to get a humidifier. So I bought one but didn't do much research.(woops) I got a Vicks warm mist one. I didn't know there was a cold mist one also. My question is...
What type of humidifier (warm or cold mist) should I be using for this type of congestion?
Will a humidifier even work?? I thought a humidifier added moisture to the air and she seems to have enough moisture since she has a snotty nose.

    Our Dr. told us not to use a humidifier in the summer because the air is already so humid.

    Also bringing LO in while you shower or run the shower helps too!

    Cold humidifier.

    Funny story we were registering at BRU and they had it on sale and there was also a coupon for it and my DH wanted it so bad. For himself. So it's really more for DH, lol.

    Someone told me not to use a warm mist one because of mold, but I have no idea if that's a legitimate concern. We have a Vicks cool mist one and really like if. We've used it off and on this summer, but I'm sure we will use it more as it gets cooler.

    I think the concern with the warm mist ones is when baby gets older they can knock it over and get burned. I have a warm mist.

    Well since I have it I might as well try it. Started up the warm mist humidifier hopefully her snotty ness clears up cause she straight up hates the saline and bulb!

    I personally don't think the cool mist ones help for congestion. I've tried both in my own room and the warm one helps so much more.
