Warm
and cozy is for weak babies. To ensure strong Viking-worthy children, Nordic
parents regularly leave their babies to sleep outdoors in the freezing cold:
Would you put your baby or toddler outside in the freezing cold for
their lunchtime nap? Most Nordic parents wouldn't give it a second thought.
For them it's part of their daily routine.
Daytime temperatures this winter in Stockholm have regularly dropped
to -5C (23F) but it's still common to see children left outside by their
parents for a sleep in the pram.

coffee shops while parents sip on lattes inside.
And if you are visiting friends and your child needs a nap, you may
be offered the garden or balcony instead of a bedroom.
