Mom question

How necessary is a humidifier?

Re: Mom question

  • We have only ever used it when he was really sick. We didn't buy one for just Eli though, we just move the regular one from the living room into his room. Here we use one in the house just about all winter anyways because it gets so dry.

  • Oh, and I hate the cool mist ones. They make Eli's room way too cold. We just use the regular one with hot steam. I asked the Dr why they recommend the cool ones and she said because the hot ones are a risk for burning but that is the only reason. We just don't have it turned on unless Eli is in his crib so he can't get to it.

  • We use it all the time. Mostly b/c Maggie is usually congested or sick. I like using it. I am not sure it is necessary though.

  • We have never used one.

    I think it is a personal preference and depends on the child.

  • Thanks girls. BFF has one on her registry and it is a daily deal on Targets website today. We were trying to determine if it was worth me buying as part of her shower gift or if I should wait and get her something more essential.

  • We bought one when Brin had a bad respitory virus but didn't have one initially.

  • I bought a warm mist humidifier. My mom always used the warm heat ones especially when the kids got bad coughs/croup. It's also pretty dry here so figured it would be a good thing to have

    Haha... Dry air is definitely not a problem down here. We're at 65% humidity today and it often goes higher! 

    I guess it's one of those things that you may or may not use. I'll probably wait and get her something different.
