A humidifier is a device that adds moisture to the air via a fine mist. Different types of humidifiers include cool mist, warm mist, and ultrasonic. Vaporizers do the same thing as warm mist humidifiers but are designed to heat and evaporate substances, like essential oils or menthol products While humidifiers and vaporizes can help add humidity to dry air, health claims that they help with cold and flu symptoms are unproven Use exhaust fans in the bathroom, laundry, and kitchen. Close windows and doors when the humidity outside is high. During periods of drier weather, open windows to help keep moisture away. Understandably, parents want to do what they can to help their babies and toddlers sleep better The idea that you need to maintain a certain humidity or air temperature to help babies sleep better is not evidence-based, and shifts the focus away from things we can do to avoid excessive night waking and make sleep easy and manageable for a family To reduce humidity in your home, purchase a dehumidifier or use the dry option on your reverse-cycle air conditioner or heat pump.
