Bestselling Nursery Humidifiers

If you live in a dry climate, the air in your home may be too dry for sensitive baby skin to handle. And when the weather gets cold, your heating system can also draw too much moisture from the air. Create the ideal atmosphere for your growing children with a humidifier. These devices can prevent skin irritation, relieve congestion and dry coughs and add a level of comfort to any nursery. They come in sleek, modern styles like glossy black or white to complement painted white Greenguard-certified cribs and other nursery furniture. Humidifiers with dark or light wood grain patterns are also available and serve as a natural accent in any nursery, beautifully complementing a wooden crib.

While they're powerful enough to refresh and humidify an entire nursery space, these devices are typically small enough to sit on your changing table or side table. The smallest humidifiers are around seven inches tall, and the largest are around 30 inches tall. Like a traditional white noise machine or baby monitor, these devices will need to be plugged into a power outlet (most include a four- to five-foot cord). Once plugged in, these smart devices will go to work immediately to ensure the air is not too dry for you and your growing infant. They may also include some or all of the following features.

• Most baby humidifier options are whisper-quiet, so they won't disturb your child while they play or sleep.
• Some models can be used with essential oils. Simply place a drop or two of your favorite scented oil in with the water to create a relaxing atmosphere and encourage restful nights.
• Many feature a timer mode with automatic shutoff, allowing you to program the device to work with your family schedule.
• Several options come with a remote control so that you can adjust the humidity levels from across the room.
• They can typically run for around 20 hours, allowing parents to effectively manage the nursery atmosphere all day.
• Some devices also include a built-in, color-changing nightlight that toddlers are sure to enjoy.
