We have a vaporiser, not sure if that is the same as a humidifier? But I leave it on all night but you need ventilation, i,e, door or window as it does get a bit damp on the walls etc if you don't.

Ours has an auto cut off if it runs dry of water. HTH

No more news here really. Amara is 5 months TODAY!!! It has gone super fast.

Re: rice cereal we will also be using the Bellamy's first. Eliza never ste it though and we moved straight to pumpkin and then apple I think. Although she didn't really eat until about 8 months old.

Catch ya,
