When choosing must-have items for your baby registry, don't forget to add a humidifier. As any pediatrician will tell you, this is one item that you won't want your baby to do without during the winter months or when a cold leaves him with a stuffy nose. The quietly operating cool mist humidifier from Evenflo (cool mist is safer than a warm mist since there's no worry about burns) holds 2.8 gallons of water and operates for 17 hours before you need to refill, which should give you a day's coverage, including naptime and nighttime. The machine comes with two speeds and a control for adjusting the level of mist. A special anti-microbial protection called Microban keeps water cleaner.
