The safest and most common choice for a baby nasal humidifier is sterile saline solution (salt water) drops or sprays. These are available over-the-counter at pharmacies in forms appropriate for your baby's age (drops for newborns, spray for 6+ months).
Saline solution helps thin mucus and make it easier to clear when there is nasal congestion. It can be used several times a day in dry weather or during a cold.
For room moisture, using a cool mist machine (ultrasonic humidifier) in your baby's room is also effective — but it is important to keep humidity between 40-60% and clean the machine daily (to prevent mold and bacterial growth).
Nasal aspirator (pump or manual suction) is more effective if used 1-2 minutes after saline solution.
Important: Menthol, eucalyptus, or camphor-containing nasal ointments/vapors are not recommended for babies — they can irritate the respiratory tract. Also, it is safer to buy sterile products from the pharmacy rather than mixing salt water at home.
