Better Breathing, Better Sleep

Chances are the first cold of the season is already making its way around your little one’s school. No matter how much you wash their hands, sanitize every door knob and disinfect surfaces, keeping germs at bay can be a difficult task.

In fact, the average child experiences 7-10 colds per year! To ensure your family gets through this winter as healthy and happy as you can, now is the time to prep your home before the cold & flu season strikes.

Humidifier use is one way to help relieve winter’s worst ailments like cough and congestion. By releasing a soothing mist, humidifiers add moisture to the air for better breathing and a more comfortable night’s sleep. Designed to provide the same benefits of a larger humidifier, the new Vicks Mini Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier brings relief to even the youngest family member. With a half-gallon tank, its compact size is perfect for a child’s bedroom nightstand, shelf or desk, to ensure they are getting the relief they need whether they’re playing or sleeping.

The Vicks Mini Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier gently releases a cool, visible mist to provide comfort against the harsh, dry winter air. The added moisture can help hydrate nasal passages, relieve chapped lips and dry skin, and even reduce static shock. The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends a cool mist humidifier to help alleviate congestion in toddlers and infants.

Available in blue, pink and green, the mini humidifier matches any bedroom’s décor and its quiet operation means it can run overnight without causing disruption. The optional Vicks VapoPads in Original Menthol or Rosemary/Lavender provide soothing scents for a more restful night’s sleep, which is important for both Mom and child when someone is under the weather. 

In addition to combatting dry air, humidifier use can give Mom some peace of mind during cold & flu season. Recent studies have shown that maintaining a relative humidity of 40-60% can reduce survival of the flu virus in the air and on surfaces like sink faucets, door handles, and countertops.

Whether you’re treating a cold’s worst symptoms or you’re trying to keep the flu virus at bay in your home, the new Vicks Mini Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier is here to help!
