Best Newborn Baby Gifts of 2020

This product is a must-have for when baby gets congested or needs a little extra light in order to sleep. It’s a cool mist humidifier that comes with a slot to insert Vicks VapoPads to help open nasal passageways.

Along with that, it has a starry night projector that will project the moon and stars onto the ceiling in changing colors. This is a nice way to help soothe baby to sleep.

It should be noted that your baby should be at least 14 pounds before using Vicks tabs with this humidifier.
