After hearing about Nordic moms who place their babies outside in sub-zero temperatures to nap -- I couldn't help but want to reach for a sweater or blanket. I mean, the idea of putting your baby in his stroller and then wheeling it onto your patio, balcony, or outside of the coffee shop where you're enjoying a beverage break when it's absolutely freezing outside (-5°C) just seems so nuts and inhumane -- but believe it or not, it's the norm for moms in Sweden. Sure, the babies are bundled up well and all, but still -- they're napping outside instead of being all snug and cozy in their cribs, which really seems downright strange. But then I heard their explanation for putting their little ones outside to nap, and it actually makes quite a bit of sense.Image may be NSFW.
