Which do you use for the kids? Why?
-
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.
-
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.
-
@Truth Bombs: do you think it makes the room colder?
-
Cool mist as well; I didn't know there is warm mist option.
-
@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.
-
Cool mist- because that's what all the internet gear lists said I needed! 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.
I think cool is safer if they are out of a crib and could potentially touch it?
-
Cool mist, I think it's supposed to be safer.
-
@Foodnerd81: I had read the same about being safer if out of the crib, plus I convinced myself cool mist should breed bacteria more slowly.
I do notice the air near the humidifier is cooler, but we don't have the humidifier right next to her crib either.

@Foodnerd81: The warm mist setting on ours only heats things to 104 degrees (cooler than many hot tubs I've been in) so it isn't a burn risk at all.
