CoolMoisture Filtered Humidifier (VEV400)

I’ve got a Vicks evaporative cool mist rated for large rooms that I’m pretty happy with. It was about $45 at Target. One tankful lasts all night. The lower speed setting is a little noisy, but if you don’t mind a white noise kind of fan noise, I’d recommend it.

I don’t know if I would put a warm mist humidifier in a kid’s room, but I guess with a baby there is no risk of tipping it over? I use a filtered cool mist humidifier (Vicks has one). I rinse and flip the filter regularly and change the filter several times a winter since we don’t use distilled water. No coughing issues. Ultrasonic humidifiers were a no-go for us as well.

I have a Vicks cool mist humidifer in all of our bedrooms. I like it because it's compatible with the Vick's vapor pods that help when the kids are super stuffy in the winter with colds.
