Babies Nap in Freezing Temperatures

Daytime temperatures in Stockholm, Switzerland regularly drop as cold as 23 Fahrenheit, but it's common to see children left outside restaurants and coffee shops by their parents for a sleep in the stroller. "I think it's good for them to be in the fresh air as soon as possible," said Lisa Mardon, a mother-of-three. "When the temperature drops to -15C we always cover the prams with blankets."

Years ago a woman tourist I think from Sweden was arrested in NYC for doing this. Her child was taken away from her and she was charged with child endangerment. I think she finally got her child back and was allowed to return home.

No worries. My mom would strip me naked, pack ice around my extremities, and I mean the REAL extremities, stand me upside down and make me shiver until I said "Uncle". Nahhh, j/k.

Having children goes on, regardless of how cold the temperature. I remember toting my babies around when it was -20f. Now my oldest is 10.

That was back before the beetle kill.

Normal parenting practices that have worked for thousands of years is illegal in the United States. All with a vague child endangerment definition, which is whatever offends the sensibilities of the people near by.
