Annie explained in a video posted on TikTok that she left her daughter taking a nap in her stroller, in the middle of the street. A very widespread practice in certain societies but which can offend those who do not know it. This technique is actually full of benefits and for the mother, it doesn’t really involve any risks…
In Denmark for example, where Annie lives, it is common to see strollers left on the street and they are not empty. Babies sleep peacefully inside. Parents are often in a store or with friends and if the children are taking a nap, they stay outside, no matter the weather. Due to the low to very low temperatures in Denmark, parents and children are well equipped to face the cold and this technique is safe for them.

A widespread practice in Denmark
In her video posted on TikTok, Annie explains that this situation does not shock anyone in Denmark because a lot of parents do. She explains : “The Danish practice of putting your baby to sleep outside in a stroller is not only the cultural norm, but also recommended by our midwives and nurses.” If in France, letting her child sleep outside would be unimaginable, the Danish mother explains that in her country all the usual fears in this kind of situation do not exist ! “Babies here are not kidnapped because no one wants the responsibility of someone else’s child. Plus, our health care system is doing everything it can to help anyone who wants a baby have one. at little or no cost.” mom says. A situation that is therefore reassuring for parents, even if they remain vigilant “Parents keep a close eye on strollers, and often they have a baby monitor. I’m so grateful to live in a city where I can let my baby sleep outside in her stroller while I walk into a cafe or shop.”, she continues. The mother is well aware that this is not possible in all countries and in all cities…
Comments from parents poured in below the Danish mum’s video and netizens shared their outrage: “I do this at home, in the garden or on a balcony, but NOT in public” or, “It’s like leaving a car with the engine running.” But the mother was not impressed and she knows it’s a chance for her family : “I love that if my family and I can go somewhere while she’s napping, we’re never stuck at home.” A surprising technique for some therefore, but widespread and effective in Denmark.
