When it comes to outfitting your baby or child’s room, parents typically think of the big stuff, i.e
crib, changing table, bookshelf, sound machine, and some very cute wall decals. But one of the most important items that will keep your baby, and in turn, you, sleeping well is a baby humidifier. And don’t wait until your child has their first cold to invest in a humidifier for babies since it’s a helpful tool to use year-round in some homes.
Kids get an average of six to eight colds per year and a humidifier for babies can help reduce their level of congestion and sleep more soundly. Humidifiers can also help add moisture to children with dry skin and reduce the occurrence of sinus pressure or nosebleeds caused by allergies and dry air.
What To Look For In A Baby Humidifier
While warm mist humidifiers may help clear airways, they are dangerous to keep in a child’s room because they can lead to serious burns. Always use a cool-mist humidifier for babies in a nursery or child’s room.
Cleaning a humidifier with soap and water after every few uses is essential to reducing minerals released into the air and combatting mold and bacteria growth. Opt for a baby humidifier that is easy to clean.
If you’re short on space, choose a humidifier that can pull double or triple duty. Some of the models on our list work as a nightlight and vaporizer as well.
How We Chose The Best Humidifiers for Babies
All the humidifiers on our list produce cool mist, which is safe for children. We included units that had auto-shutoffs and other safety features and could last at least eight hours, eliminating the need for parents to refill a tank in the middle of the night. Our top choices are all highly reviewed and rated by satisfied customers and some we have tested ourselves.
1. Crane Adorables Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier
BEST OVERALL
Crane continues to top baby registry lists and for good reason. The company makes a huge variety of fun, kid-friendly designs. Parents can choose from a wide variety of colors, animals, and even a train. The ultrasonic cool-mist humidifier for babies shown here is a great addition to any train enthusiast’s room, complete with real steam (mist) coming out of the engine. The train is made using antimicrobial material that helps to reduce bacteria and mold growth by up to 99.96 percent and has a removable one-gallon tank for easy filling. The filter-free tank is large enough to cool 500 square feet for up to 24 hours. The water sensor and cap can be removed to make cleaning easy.

KID-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Hopeme is giving Crane a cute run for its money. The company makes an adorable kid-friendly humidifier in five colors with matching antlers and a furry friend inside. Not only will kids love the design, but they’ll also like choosing from the seven LED lights that turn the humidifier for babies into a night light. The small size of the Hopeme means it won’t take up much room, but it also has a smaller tank that is better for intermittent misting, which allows it to last eight hours.

7. Honeywell Mistmate Cool Mist Humidifier
BEST FOR SMALL ROOMS
For a powerful humidifier for babies that can cool a small-sized room, is easy to fill, and easy to clean, we like the Honeywell Mistmate Cool Mist Humidifier. We’ve been using this model for about a year and it still looks gunk-free inside, which is not common for a humidifier that gets used on a weekly basis. The Honeywell has an impressive 20 hour run time even though it only times up a small amount of space on a nightstand. The tank has a wide opening that makes it easy to clean and fill and an adjustable mist rate. We also like that it doesn’t have a bright light, which is important for kids who are easily kept up by nightlights.

The ultra-portable Ourry emits only 30 dB of sound and has a USB interface for easy power.

9. Levoit Humidifiers for Bedroom
INCLUDES APP
You’ve done the impossible and finally settled a baby for a long winter’s nap. Or at least a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. But alas, you forgot to turn on the humidifier. Do you dare go back into the nursery and risk waking a child you just spent 45 minutes rocking to sleep? No! Use what strength you have left in your arms to lift your phone and turn on the Levoit Humidifiers for Bedroom app, which allows users to turn on the baby humidifier and set the humidity level remotely. The six-liter top-loading tank can hold enough water to mist a large room for up to 60 hours on a single refill, so even if you forgot to add water, your baby will still breathe well.

Their cool-mist humidifier for babies can run for up to 12 hours and gives a wide range of power options depending on how dry the climate/sick the baby is. The BPA-free water tank pushes out enough mist to cool the air in a 320 square foot room and parents can also add Vapor drops to the 0.5-gallon tank. We also like that the humidifier has a nightlight function with its own on/off control, meaning parents can still use the humidifier as a nightlight even if their little one doesn’t need the air moisturized.
