Your baby’s life depends on your daily care. Even the tiniest things make a huge difference. For example, a humidifier you use for the baby room can either improve or harm to baby’s health. Do you know where to put humidifier?
You are recommended to put your best humidifier for baby somewhere near the corner of the room where the baby sleeps. When your home bathroom is too humid, you should consider keeping the bathroom door closed.
Where to put humidifier?
Put humidifier on the floor
When you put a humidifier, please remember to check the water level every day and change it to clean water every day. Please note that there is no need to use distilled water or boiled water for the baby room. Usually, normal tap water will be just fine.
Try not to keep humidifier facing at baby directly
If you keep the humidifier facing at baby directly, the excess humidity may harm the baby’s respiratory system and eyes. Please allow 1 meter distance from the humidifier to the baby’s bed for safety reasons.
Keep the room temperature below 25 degrees Celsius or 77 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain a healthy humidity level in your baby room. Otherwise, too much humidity can also cause overall respiratory problems to the baby.

Where not to put humidifier?
Do not put a humidifier in front of the air conditioner or fan. This will suck the excess humidity from the room and make the humidity level lower than normal, which is bad for the baby’s respiratory system.
Do not keep a humidifier in your baby’s bedroom when you are not around because it can hurt her when she starts to develop her motor skills.
Do not put humidifier near the baby’s bed. It is a good idea to keep the room temperature between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius or 63 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit because humidity can damage the baby’s respiratory system if it is too high.
Do not use distilled water or boiled water from a humidifier for your baby, especially when you are not at home. It may cause accidents to your baby if you put the humidifier on the floor.
Do not keep wet towels or clothes near the humidifier because it can breed mold, which is harmful to your baby’s health.
