Are dehumidifiers and or air purifiers safe / recommended to use with a newborn? I’m concerned of mould in the bedroom as my ensuits develops it from time to time which we clean however it’s hard to keep it from reappearing due to a small window and exhaust fan that doesn’t seem to help much with the steam.
Red Nose Education
Red Nose has no specific information about the use of humidifiers or air purifiers & any direct relationship to an increased risk of SUDI/SIDS.
If you use the humidifier/air purifier ensure it is well out of reach of your baby, especially as they grow &start; to reach for things. Ensure you use as per instructions with the item.
