So many people swear by humidifiers, but I had never used one prior to having a baby. If you’re a skeptic like I was, I can verify that getting a humidifier has been so helpful, especially now that my kids are a bit older. Whenever I see the first sign of a sniffle, I pull the humidifier out and have seen a dramatic improvement, versus just gritting my teeth and holding on until it passed.
Promising review: “This is the best humidifier I’ve owned! I have purchased three now — one for each of the bedrooms! It’s silent! But has the option for white noise; my kids love watching the color-changing lights (although we turn that off for sleeping), and it is easy to clean! And the top loader is nice! We have a pitcher and fill them up about every other night (if it’s been running on low).” —Val
