Once fall arrives, do you feel that the climate is obviously much drier?
Lips are easy to dry skin; fall asleep in the middle of the night, will feel that the throat is not very comfortable, to get out of bed to drink water; this is not, the group of mom’s masks are applied more diligently ……
The feeling of the little baby is more obvious! Dry skin is still a small matter, many children in the fall and winter (especially in the north after the heating), but also particularly prone to nosebleeds ……
Therefore, in order to “lower dryness”, popular Cool air humidifier has become a lot of families with children’s necessities.
But the humidifier this thing, choose the right, with the right, indeed can be called a “magic weapon”.
And once you choose the wrong, with the wrong, serious cases may even cause lung damage, endangering the health of the family.
Why is a humidifier recommended for fall and winter?
Let me give you a piece of mind first, humidifiers are something that can be used and recommended.
First of all, the correct use of humidifiers to increase the humidity of the air, the health of children and family members is good.
The American Academy of Pediatrics are direct words:
Placing a popular Cool air humidifier in your child’s room keeps their nasal secretions moist, making them feel more comfortable;
In addition to colds and flu, humidifiers also provide relief from nosebleeds, sinus infections, dry skin and eczema caused by dryness;
Even, cool mist humidifiers are effective against laryngitis.
Nasal moistening, relief of dry skin and nosebleeds, all of which you should already be well aware of. Dr. Moe will focus on explaining problems such as eczema and laryngitis.
In fact, the eczema that parents worry about the most in fall and winter is essentially caused by too dry skin.
And fall and winter airway burden increases, humidity decreases, asthma and other respiratory diseases are also prone to high incidence, so the application of popular Cool air humidifiers in the family can prevent and alleviate the related problems to a certain extent.
In addition, when a humidifier is used in the family, the air humidity is kept above 50%, it will also reduce the spreading power and vitality of the influenza virus, which also gives better protection to the baby to a certain extent.
Secondly, the most intuitive feeling of an individual will also be much more comfortable when using a humidifier.
According to the survey found that the most comfortable range of humidity for human body is around 45%~60%.
And this humidity, in the winter is almost impossible to reach.
The average indoor humidity after December in the northern region is not even more than 10%.
Which popular Cool air humidifier to choose better for your baby’s safety?
As Dr. Moe said earlier, humidifier is a good thing, but choose the right is “magic weapon”, choose the wrong will “cause disease”.
That a variety of humidifiers on the market, in the end how to choose?
Currently on the market humidifier products, mainly divided into two categories:
- Mist type humidifier
Also called ultrasonic humidifier, it is the mainstream product on the market at present, especially common.
Its working principle is, through high-frequency oscillation will be broken into fine particles of water, the formation of water mist, and these water mist dispersed into the air to achieve humidification.
- Mistless Humidifier
Mistless humidifiers, also called evaporative humidifiers, come in two varieties, cold evaporation and hot evaporation.
Among them, hot evaporation may have a problem – the child is easily interested in the blowing out of the water vapor, reach out to touch, easy to be burned; and the machine consumes too much energy.
From the point of view of safety and health, cold evaporation humidifier is more suitable for families with children’s choice – the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasized in front of the cold mist humidifier, refers to this kind.
Its working principle is to simulate the phenomenon of evaporation in nature, through constant evaporation core to accelerate the evaporation rate of water, circulating wind will liquid water into gaseous water, so as to achieve the effect of rapid and uniform humidification.
So its biggest feature is that you can’t see the water mist, and the humidification effect is also more uniform.
What’s more, this fog-free humidifier will come with a filter, can filter out those impurities that may exist, so there is no high demand for water quality, but also put an end to the possibility of secondary pollution.
The disadvantage is that the price will be relatively high compared to the fog type humidifier, and need to replace the filter cartridge on a regular basis.
How to use a popular Cool air humidifier correctly？
1. Don’t mess with the water “spice”!
Many people like to put essential oils in the popular Cool air humidifier, put lemon, etc., think in the humidification at the same time, the smell is also very fragrant. Dr. Meng also read the news before, some people to the humidifier to put the blue root, in order to prevent colds (this groove is too much) ……
However, especially if you have a baby at home, don’t do this!
We thought the “fragrance”, the baby is actually too strong odor, and many of these “materials” contain chemicals, not only may lead to baby allergies, but also may cause damage to the baby’s respiratory tract.
2. Only use pure water or distilled water
The bad side of tap water in front of Dr. Meng has said, if you use a mist type popular Cool air humidifier, must ensure that only pure water or distilled water, to avoid causing “secondary pollution” to the baby.
Of course, cold evaporation does not matter, tap water can also be.
3. Regular water changes, timely cleaning, to avoid breeding bacteria or mold.
4. It is best not to open all day and night, and proper ventilation every day.
Mist type humidifier generally can not be automatically adjusted according to the air humidity, so parents need to adjust according to the situation.
For example, open an hour or two off a while, open the window properly ventilated to avoid excessive humidity breeding bacteria.
If the family uses a fogless humidifier, then the precautions will be much less, the most important point:
5. Regular replacement of the cartridge!
Because even the best cartridge adsorption of impurities will become dirty, so it is still necessary to regularly clean and regularly replaced.
