Annie Samples is a 36-year-old content creator, copywriter, and mother who lives in Denmark with her husband and four kids.
Annie is American, but she and her family moved to Denmark a little over three years ago when the design company her husband works for opened an office there.
I found out about Annie through a video she made that went viral on TikTok. In the video — which now has over 13 million views on the platform — Annie discusses the Danish practice of letting babies sleep alone outside in their strollers.

I decided to reach out to Annie to learn more about this tradition and why people do it in the first place. "I actually had heard a lot about the outdoor naps before I moved here, and I genuinely thought it was common knowledge about Denmark," Annie told BuzzFeed. "Even still, it sounded wild to me and I was pleasantly shocked to see that it actually does happen here. ... I previously attempted it with no success with my third child and sort of gave up on the notion altogether. After my fourth child was born, our visiting nurse stressed the importance of outdoor stroller naps, and that's when I gave it another shot. Outdoor napping is extremely common. Most families do it, and daycare institutions have infants nap outside in strollers as well."
"Some benefits of outdoor sleeping are supposedly that the baby will sleep more deeply — the fresh air is good for their health and immune system — but what my visiting nurse emphasized most to me is that it would help with my stress levels and help the family function better, which I agree with."

There must not be many large birds of prey there.
You couldn’t do that in Australia. Dingos.
Maybe all the democrat run cities bums are actually Danish
Shoot. In the USA these days, you don’t even leave your kid alone in the car, lest someone steal the car with your kid in it.
Buncha years ago a woman from Northern Europe was arrested in NYC for doing just this...child endangerment was the charge I believe
There was an FR thread years ago about a Danish mother who was arrested for leaving her baby and carriage unattended outside a New York restaurant.

Unless the baby was guarded by my big dogs, I would not do it.
Interesting article. Thanks.
Yep. See #6.
We could do it here too, if the bad guys were put in prison and not released back out on the streets without even a slap on the wrist.
I don’t even let my dog go out to pee by himself
Japan is another place you could be perfectly comfortable doing something like that.
I really don’t know what has happened to America. There are so many scumbags here now.
Here’s the story from 1997
Its 95% one race nation.
It is lovely to live I. A culturally homogeneous high trust society.
Leftists are poisoning our cuture.
I can remember being left outside the A&P to watch my sister in her baby carriage. Doubt if I was more than 4 at the time. This was in Queens, NYC.
I remember babies sleeping in strollers on porches. 50s and 60s and 70s in small towns
That would hwve been late 40s
Not good to post this on Tic toc.
A criminal can locate her, snatch the kid and hold it for ransom.
This has been a PSA.

Cool thing is; everybody goes home with a different baby every day.
