Best praise vs top criticism for Crane Drop Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
“Are you by any chance in a cold area? My 9 week old was walking every 2 hours and we figured it was because his nose was getting very dry and irritated from the forced air heating constantly being on. The humidity in the room was super low. Got a humidifier, turned heating down and extra layers on baby. I let fresh air in every day. Also put Vaseline around his nose and he’s done a 6 hour stretch for two nights in a row. Fingers crossed it sticks.”
“We’ve been running a humidifier constantly for the past month… and just realized that we should be using distilled water and cleaning the humidifier frequently. Now we’re wondering if baby’s protracted diarrhea is the result of our oversight. Big whoops! https://time.com/4685972/humidifier-disinfectants-bacteria-water/”
