I also plan to use it if she's at all congested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165673 Tue, 22 May 2012 19:40:53 +0000 heffalump 165673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it in the winter when the heat is on, and if LO has a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165324 Tue, 22 May 2012 12:53:59 +0000 LivsMama 165324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use one in the winter because our heat really dries the air out, but we also use it when shes stuffy or has a cold. It helps immensely during that time, Especially wiht some eucalyptus oil in there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165292 Tue, 22 May 2012 12:20:55 +0000 MamaMoose 165292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The central air in our home sometimes dries out the air. And hubs and I both find having a humidifier in our room helps us to feel better in the mornings, so we'll probably get one for baby too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165267 Tue, 22 May 2012 12:08:48 +0000 chopsuey 165267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's necessary. They're a pain in the butt to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165266 Tue, 22 May 2012 12:07:43 +0000 lemondrop 165266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only break ours out when one of us has the sniffles. And being in the desert, we are dry all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165261 Tue, 22 May 2012 12:04:47 +0000 banana 165261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only used it when our LO was an infant. And now, we use it when he's sick. I don't know how big of a difference it makes though. I'm assuming it works since everyone recommends using one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165170 Tue, 22 May 2012 10:51:43 +0000 plantains 165170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one because NYC and more specifically our apartment building is extremely dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165164 Tue, 22 May 2012 10:35:37 +0000 Andrea 165164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it doesn't get that dry where you are then I don't think you need one. It is humid in the summers here but really dry in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165151 Tue, 22 May 2012 10:20:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 165151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is necessary because it gets really dry in the winter here, and it's also our white noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/humidifier-necessary-or-no#post-165143 Tue, 22 May 2012 10:06:41 +0000 mediagirl 165143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may sound like a really stupid question but, why do you need a humidifier for your little one? What does it do that living in a humid climate does not do? When is it really needed, if at all? </p>
