And @hellobeeboston I have been eyeing it for a while and didn't feel like I could justify the cost. But we've been through three humidifiers and its starting to feel like when we bought four vacuums only to end up buying the Dyson. For us items that get heavy use are just worth a little extra if it limits replacement costs. Also, both my sons had/have sleep apnea and we think that having a good humidifier will really help. My two year old had his adenoid removed a year ago, but the apnea has returned because his tonsils are so huge. We think its irritated from the dryness in the air. Doc said she could remove it but its not ideal to do a tonsillectomy on a 2 year old. So we're trying to find other ways to reduce the size of his tonsils enough to stop the apneas from occurring. In any event, long story to say I'm going to get it and try it. I'll let you ladies know what I think after we put it to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dyson-humidifier-1#post-2788159 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 22:29:15 +0000 hellobeeboston 2788159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want this, the price is giving me pause though. </p> <p>I’ve hated almost every humidifier we’ve owned, just not sure this is worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dyson-humidifier-1#post-2788154 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 21:34:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2788154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha- i read the title of this and immediately thought “I want it”. </p> <p>We like the Dyson vacuums. I’m sure the Dyson humidifier is a lot more expensive but a lot better than my crane ones. I’d love to know what people think. </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: good to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dyson-humidifier-1#post-2788034 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 12:22:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2788034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the humidifier and air purifier in LO’s room. He has the best air in the house. We started off with a different humidifier that you find on lots of Baby registries and definitely like the Dyson products better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dyson-humidifier-1#post-2788033 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 12:17:48 +0000 Mammabare 2788033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the Dyson humidifier? It's expensive, but my son is pretty much up all night coughing. I know I could get a cheaper one but we will probably put it to heavy use. Need something that doesn't get everything all wet and is easy to maintain. I own a Dyson vacuum and I like the quality and ease of use( and cleaning) of their products. Let me know if you own one or know someone who does! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749546 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:15:26 +0000 mrsmate 749546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For white noise DD uses my old clock radio from high school. It doesn't turn off (unless I put on the timer) and it has a variety of sounds. In the winter we use a humidifier in almost every room of the house (in Boston). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749137 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:44:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 749137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: our friend gifted us this sound machine - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/myBaby-Soundspa-Lullaby-Machine-Projector/dp/B008KG5R6I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1367181661&#038;sr=8-10&#038;keywords=sound+machine" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/myBaby-Soundspa-Lullaby-Machine-Projector/dp/B008KG5R6I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1367181661&#038;sr=8-10&#038;keywords=sound+machine</a> - it wasn't even something i registered for (i wanted the marpac), but it has been one of the best, well-used gifts we've gotten! it has 6 sounds (heartbeat, ocean, rain, twinkle twinkle, rockabye baby, and cradle), and it comes with a projector screen. my daughter loves looking at the moon and stars on her ceiling while listening to twinkle twinkle... and i turn it off right before i leave the room. when she was an infant, we just kept the heartbeat sound on all night and it really soothed her. we've been using it all 28-months of her life and it's still going strong!</p> <p>we don't use a night light, but a humidifier has been essential for us, especially when the kids are sick. we use it every night even when she isn't sick because sometimes when we don't turn it on, she'll wake up with a bloody nose from the dryness. we live in california, so it can get pretty dry.</p> <p>edit: by the way, my friend purchased our sound machine from target... it's cheaper there. i noticed on amazon it's $30 + $10 shipping. don't get it on amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749116 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:56:46 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 749116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a humidifier during the winter because our heat is forced air and seems to make Ria more prone to coughing. It's also a great white noise so we use it until it's warm enough to have the overhead fan on, which is also white noise. So we don't use a white noise machine, specifically.</p> <p>We use this night light: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30150984/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30150984/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749069 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:29:53 +0000 mediagirl 749069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the marpac sound machine. It's the best thing we could have ever purchased for her sleep. She hears it go on (we turn it on when we go in her room to put on pj's and start reading) and she visibly calms down. We put a very low wattage lightbulb in a lamp and use that as a nightlight. I also have a night light we bought from Walmart for $3 that plugs in the wall. It stays on all day and night - it's a very low light but enough to give some light so it's not pitch black in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749059 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:07:45 +0000 LazyLightning 749059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh also, my mom always used to just put a small dish or bucket of water next to the heater/ac vent in my room - kind of a 'poor man's humidifier'! She put a little soap in the water to keep the dog from drinking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749053 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:03:08 +0000 LazyLightning 749053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have that $20 homedic soundspa sound machine. I wanted the option of the timer, or leaving it on. Haven't used it with the baby yet but we have one in our room (with a clock on it) and like it. </p> <p>Can't help you with florida humidity but I live in the north, and we got the crane humidifier that looks like a raindrop. We'll probably only use it in the winter; it's plenty humid here in the summer but very dry in wintertime. I have read that humidifiers can cause more problems with allergies an mold spores. So if you're not feeling you need one, I wouldn't bother! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749032 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:21:03 +0000 matador84 749032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we never used a nightlght and in fact had blackout curtains. conair sound machine for white noise, and the teardrop crane humidifier and love it. where we live it is very dry so a necessity for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-749024 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:03:58 +0000 kjpugs 749024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hummusgirl: good point! I definitely don't plan to leave it on... just some soft light for if I have to come in, or for before bed so it's not jarring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-748999 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:20:26 +0000 hummusgirl 748999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every baby is different, but just this last week I stopped using our night light and LO started sleeping better! I wonder if that would've been the case had I never started in the first place... Just something to keep in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-748986 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:13:58 +0000 dagret 748986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the munchkin white noise machine/projector/night light and really like it. I also have a mobiglo nightlight and portable light. </p> <p>A humidifier is a must when they have a cold - you can't give them any drugs, so anything that helps their comfort is a godsend. I have a Vicks humidifier and hate it. I wish I had gotten a crane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-748983 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:03:41 +0000 78h2o 748983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I just realized that have it for that price too on Amazon (w/ Prime shipping).

It goes up pretty loud and can drown out the dog barking. I like the white noise and rain the best... the ocean is okay, but I like the sleep sheep ocean better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-748981 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:02:53 +0000 Rubies 748981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Graco noise machine - it has normal white noise, a variety of nature noises, and lullabies, too.

She has used it every night and for every nap for 26 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-748974 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:58:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 748974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend swears by the Marpac one-- she has one in her bedroom and is getting one for the baby's room. I'm not convinced it's worth 3 times as much as a regular one though. I think it depends on how much noise you have to block-- like, if you live on a sort of busy street, or near a police station or hospital with the sirens, it prob would drown out noise better, but if you just want some constant background noise, I'm not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-humidifier-night-light-insight-please#post-748973 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:58:20 +0000 78h2o 748973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this sound machine and love it!<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2JBMRE/ref=ox_ya_os_product" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2JBMRE/ref=ox_ya_os_product</a></p> <p>It was $24.99 (and eligible for Prime) though when I bought it a few months ago from Amazon, so maybe look for a cheaper buying option.You can set the timer or leave it on all night.</p> <p>I know you're not looking for this, but a dimmer switch was something I didn't realize I needed. My baby was staying up for too long after night feeds and someone on HB recommended this dimmer switch for the lamp beside my bed so that she didn't get confused by the light.
