A:
Start developing those good habit's early! Right before teething, you'll start to see more saliva production, and that's a good time to start with a gentle tooth tissue to wipe the gums and cheeks. We really love http://www.giggle.com/p/24347/Tooth-Tissues.aspx tooth tissues because they're easy on the gums, plus flouride and sugar-free! When your baby's teeth really start coming in, start using a gentle finger brush (a soft plastic or rubber brush that will cover your finger) which will massage the gums and soothe soreness. As your child grows into solids, check in with your pediatrician for advice on transitioning to an age-appropriate toothbrush.

A:
A humidifier simply adds moisture to a dry room to help maintain humidity, and they can be particularly helpful for soothing cold symptoms. An air purifier cleans the air and makes your home a healthier environment by removing dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, et cetera.
