Is a Cool Mist Humidifier Different to a Vaporiser? Absolutely. These Crane models, or cool mist humidifiers, are completely safe, they just turn water into mist, which adds moisture to the air. A steam vaporiser is boiling the water and turning it into steam, so steam gives risk of burns, whereas cool mist is perfectly safe and can be used around children with no risk at all.
Can humidifiers be used safely for newborns? Absolutely. Because it's just water that's being turned into cool mist, it's safe for all human beings from newborn up to elderly people who will find, at times, a humidifier useful and completely safe.
The only thing you do need to pay attention to with babies or small children is if you're adding essential oils. Some essentials oils are totally unsafe and unsuitable for newborns and small children so consult a specialist aromatherapist. We do have information on our website about which oils are safe at which age.
