Diapers, bottles, wipes, and everything else your baby needs is ready. But a whole-home humidifier for newborns is one item that is often overlooked.
Benefits of a Whole-Home Humidifier for Newborns
Your Baby’s Best Sleep
Hoping your baby will sleep through the night? Babies are much more susceptible to congestion than you are and are too young to take medicine to help relieve their symptoms. One of the major benefits of a whole-home humidifier for newborns is protection from dry air, especially in the chilly winter months when babies often become ill. A humidifier will let your newborn baby breathe easy and help get rid of pesky mucus build-up.
Bye-Bye Bugs
Everyone knows that come winter, the dreaded cold and flu season arrives. The reason for this lies invisible in the air we breathe. Dry air is a host for bacteria and viruses, which multiply and linger for days. In humid air, these particles remain dense and sink to the floor. By maintaining a Relative Humidity level of between 40-60%, you can keep baby healthier by preventing the spread of those pesky illnesses.
Dry Skin Be Gone
Comfort is the key to your newborn baby’s happiness. A humidifier provides relief from dry, irritating skin and your baby’s skin is at risk of becoming red and chapped without proper humidification. Even the best lotion is no match for proper humidification, which keeps the baby’s skin clear and soft, just as it should be.
A Gift For Everyone
When considering a humidifier for your baby, a whole-home humidifier is your best option. Portable humidifiers only treat the air in a small portion of your home and chances are, if your newborn’s room is dry, the rest of your home is too. If your home has central HVAC, you can take advantage of these benefits of a whole-home humidifier:
- Less maintenance
- No noise
- Energy efficient
- Out of sight
- Out of reach
AprilAire helps keep your family healthy and comfortable with whole-home humidifiers that automatically maintain proper moisture levels throughout your house, including your nursery.
