This Woman Leaves Her Baby To Sleep Alone Outside In Public — But In Her Country, It's The Norm [Denmark]
Buzzfeed via Yahoo ^ | September 30, 2022

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."

I wouldn’t do it in the front yard, but in the back yard I would. Who doesn’t have a fenced in back yard? My Dee o gee would strip the flesh off anyone but family to get near the baby.

The pill, and mass advertising. Those are the roots of evil.

There was no such thing as generational differences until Madison Ave invented it.

How to sell products to the children of the boomers? Separate them from their parents? There are serious studies that show purposeful financed revolutions in music, art and clothing. It was all planned by servants of the dark side. Lucifer has dominion on Earth. Likely the same groups of people that formed the UN and the WEF.

Come quickly Jesus.

My mom used to do that with me. I remember the smell of the leather carriage, the feeling of the sun on my back as it shown between the tree leaves and the feeling of fresh air as the breeze gently blew. To this day, I absolutely love to sleep outside, especially cowboy style.

Of course the times were very different back then. I’m glad I got to experience that.

I wouldn’t dream of leaving a baby sleeping on a sidewalk in a busy city. That’s just crazy.

Yet the British “Conservatives” put this third world imported trash in their government in the name of “diversity.” Multicuturalism and immigration from ANY non-western country is a disease that needs to be terminated like any cancerous growth.
