A member asked:
How far away should my newborn be from a humidifier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Humidifiers: There is no minimum distance from an ultrasonic humidifier using cool mist. Warm mist humidifiers should be avoided when young children are around because they can try to touch the mist and burn themselves. Newborns won't do this but it is still better to get a cool mist humidifier from the outset.
