A nursery humidifier is one of the most overlooked necessities when planning for a new member of the family. Parenting books, diapers, and many small outfits are must haves before your bundle of joy arrives. However, it is never too early to begin thinking about your child’s long-term health. Nursery humidifiers are an essential step to ensuring happy, healthy development in these precious first years of life.

Nursery Humidifier Health Benefits
- Reinstating a Natural Balance – The fall and winter seasons in St. Louis brings dry and unforgiving air. Nursery humidifiers will not only counteract the natural lack of moisture in the air, but also any excess dryness caused by our central heating and cooling systems. Nursery humidifiers help maintain a consistent harmony in the air your baby breathes year round.
- Soothing Your Infant’s Skin – In the initial stages of life, your baby’s skin is much more susceptible to rashes, and dry, uncomfortable patches. Nursery humidifiers are tools to help actively fight against your child’s discomfort.
- Preventing Illness – Dry air can cause the beginning of many ailments in infants. If baby’s throat, nose, and eyes are exposed to harsh, unforgiving air, they are likely to become irritated and thus more prone to infection. Implementing the use of a nursery humidifier helps eliminate these problematic side effects of dry air.
- Improved Sleep – Those first few months at home go hand in hand with the knowledge that you and your child will have many sleepless nights. Your nursery humidifier will quickly become your new best friend. In addition to the many health benefits your humidifier provides, the gentle low hum it creates may lull your fussy little one into a sound sleep. The soft white noise of the humidifier mimics the heartbeat and consistent whir your baby is so accustomed to from their time in the womb.
Which Nursery Humidifier Works Best for My Baby?
There are two types to consider for your nursery humidifier, and they each work a bit differently. They are:
- Warm Air Mist Humidifiers – This type of nursery humidifier is most useful for preventing mucus buildup, and breaking up any that may be already present in your baby’s respiratory system. The warm air also helps eliminate any dangerous germs that may be floating around in the air.
- Cool Air Mist Humidifiers – One of the main benefits for this kind of nursery humidifier is safety. There is no heating unit in this machine, eliminating any danger of curious little hands coming into contact with a hot surface. This humidifier is specifically recommended for treatment of croup.
