I just had a baby. How can I keep my nose from being stuffed without using a humidifier.?
The scope feels stuffy. I don't want to use a humidifier because the instructions say not to use in a closed flat with children sleeping. Also, there is the inconvenience of maintaining it. Would a unerring fan or air conditioner help? I heard ionic breezes are not recommended.
We have two humidifiers in our legislative body that run throughout the winter (when it gets dry here). One of them is in the bedroom and our daughter has slept in there with it management. She didn't have any ill effects from it. In fact, when she was poorly with RSV, it helped her to get better. (We picked up the bedroom humidifier when she was diagnosed with RSV. Our pediatrician said that it might improve her.)
I would recommend getting a humidifier. If you are congested, the child might be as well. It will purposes end up helping you both.
I've posted a link below to the humidifier that we bought for our bedroom. It is low conservation (change the filter once every few months) and we had to fill it maybe once every two days (it's very moderate to fill). We kept the room at about 45% humidity, without the humidifier the humidity was about 20% (leave dry).
Good luck.
