C's room is the coolest in the house but I don't think the cool must makes it feel particularly colder- just more humid. I was worried it would make it colder too. </p> <p>I think cool is safer if they are out of a crib and could potentially touch it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/warm-or-cold-mist-humidifier#post-2416686 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:33:21 +0000 Truth Bombs 2416686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: only if I have it turned up too high. If we keep it on a lower level we don't have an issue. But we live in the South and keep our house quite warm. If I lived in Minnesota and kept my house at a cooler temperature I might have a different opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/warm-or-cold-mist-humidifier#post-2416667 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:24:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2416667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool mist as well; I didn't know there is warm mist option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/warm-or-cold-mist-humidifier#post-2416666 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:24:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2416666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: do you think it makes the room colder? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/warm-or-cold-mist-humidifier#post-2416664 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:24:08 +0000 Truth Bombs 2416664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool mist is supposed to be better for congestion and we only use them when the kids are sick so that's what we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/warm-or-cold-mist-humidifier#post-2416629 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:06:40 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2416629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our humidifier can actually do both. But we use the warm mist setting. I have heard that it is better plus since the mist is warmer the room doesn't start to feel cool from the cold moisture in the air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/warm-or-cold-mist-humidifier#post-2416619 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:04:09 +0000 Mamaof2 2416619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which do you use for the kids? Why? </p>
