If a newborn has a cold or flu then please make sure you keep a very close eye on them

If you and your child can cope with it, then use it. Everyone is different and the noise can sometimes be off-putting, but there isn’t an age limit I’m aware of.

I’m not sure if there is an age warning for use, but when I had my daughter, someone made as both unwell and I used one from when she was 5 days old.
(Yes a worker passed it on)

The use of a vaporiser isn’t bound to a certain age indeed.
