My baby s 1 year.the wintet started n i keep room heaters on almost all the time.s it necessary 2 use humidifier.if s which type humidifier shud i use?

Not necessary,: but can be helpful with the dry air from heaters in the winter. The dry air can cause dry skin and nasal congestion and sometimes nosebleeds. A cool mist humidifer is best.
