Humidifier

Anyone using one? I am not but LO has had a cough since starting daycare a month ago and it's worse at night and becoming more productive. Another baby in daycare has a confirmed case of croup. Reading up on croup, it says a humidifier could help. Not sure if I should do hot, cold, or brands, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

We've been running a cool air humidifier since DS was born. I love it.

my older DD had croup before. the cool mist humidifier is what was recommended. we have one by Vicks. even though u can't use it at this age it also allows you to use vapor strips. I got it at target.

We have one. We set it up in our room since that's where DD's bassinet is, and got it up and running a few weeks before she arrived to test it out. You know, for quality assurance. 

I'm not sure if it's made a difference for her or not, since she's slept with it since we came home, but it's definitely helped me out, and I plan on getting one for us once we move LO to her own room.

We just started using a cool mist humidifier as DD kept waking up in the morning with boogers. It helps keep them moist so she can get them out.

DS just had croup and we used this after the pharmacist recommended it:

http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-1-5-Gallon-Vaporizer-Night-Light/dp/B0000TN7ME/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1353142850&sr=8-3&keywords=vicks+pediatric+warm+steam+vaporizer

It's cheap, easy to clean, easy to use and made a HUGE difference. The first night he had croup we didn't have it and he refused to sleep the entire night.  The next day I bought it and he went back to STTN for the most part. Definitely helped the cough/congestion a lot.
