Brief Answer:
Hufpuf kit is safe
Detailed Answer:
Hi....by what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a wheezing problem.
Hufpuf kit is usually given for kids with wheezing problem and it is a spacer through which an inhaler has to be used for administering drug.
Coming to your queries -
1. It's safe for infants - don't worry.
2. It is used as I mentioned earlier to deliver drug from a metered dose inhaler. Its uses are wheezing, wheezy cough, allergic bronchitis etc.
3. If your kid is having frequent wheezing or excessive cough disturbing sleep at nights then it might be indicated.
