In Scandinavia, especially in Denmark and parts of Sweden, parents often let their babies sleep outside – even in winter. What would be unthinkable in Germany is part of the culture and child-rearing there. The fresh air should do the little ones good. That’s why you see prams in Scandinavia again and again in front of restaurants, cafes and other shops. Sometimes the parents park the stroller with the sleeping baby in front of their own front door. A mother from Sweden recently experienced a shock.
A delivery man who wanted to deliver a package from Hello Fresh quickly placed the ten-kilo box on the pram – which was carrying the woman’s baby at the time. The angry mother shared a photo of it in her Instagram story. “You almost crushed a sleeping baby with a 10-kilo package and don’t be ashamed. Thank God the child is fine. Never again!”, She writes. After the bloggbevakning account also shared the picture, several media outlets in Sweden and abroad picked up the story.
