Your baby can’t sleep, your house feels itchy, and the air is working against you
It starts quietly. A stuffy nose at bedtime. Scratching sounds through the baby monitor. That strange, coppery smell that tells you a nosebleed is coming before you even turn on the light. I remember standing in the hallway at 3:14 a.m., half-awake, holding tissues and wondering how the room could feel cold and sharp at the same time.
Dry indoor air sneaks up on families, especially once heaters start running nonstop. It doesn’t announce itself. It just makes nights longer. Days grumpier. Skin rough where it used to feel soft.
