Is it dangerous to have Humidifier on and a door closed to a baby’s room?
CWPig Mom asked:
I just bought a humidifier for baby 10 months. He seemed to enjoy it this afternoon at his nap time, the room was warm and he was coughing so much , it allowed him to sleep longer. When I checked on him, he seemed very comfortable. I was checking him periodically, thinking about it now, this may have allowing steam to escape a little. I worry now about the length of time he’ll be in his room with it on tonight. I won’t check him as frequent and he will sleep longer, he does in the evening hours. I usually close the door, I worry about the cats getting in there. They are hairy and lay all over his changing table and I fear in his crib.But worried it may get to warm or steamy. Can he suffocate? I have a monitor on but if he suffocates can I hear him? The door is cracked now because I’m stilll awake. My hunch is to leave the door cracked. Curious, if anyone knows more about this.
Any help out there appreciated.
