Denmark – Every country usually has a different parenting style, especially in Denmark, and other Scandinavian countries, one of those differences is that parents leave their babies in a stroller alone to nap in backyards, parks, and even outside of restaurants and shops.
In Denmark, parents often leave their kids bundled up to breathe fresh air. The thinking goes that sleeping outside is good for the immune systems and reduces the risk of cough, colds, and infection by building natural immunity and reducing the number of microbes babies would interact with indoors.

Also, based on a viral video on TikTok that shared by @annieineventyrland account on October 3, 2022, showed the situation of dozens of baby strollers lined up outdoors without parental supervision or monitoring.
Probably in Indonesia, this is very scary considering the kidnapping rate here is so high. But in Denmark,this is actually good for the baby's health.
Is outdoor sleep really beneficial for babies?

Dr Afolabi-Brown explained that spending time outdoors in general does expose us to vitamin D, which is beneficial for immune system.
"There are several additional benefits with being outside but babies don't necessarily have to be sleeping outside to enjoy these benefits," Brown remarked, as reported from baby center site.
Of course, this is also a major convenience for parents who’d like a little alone time to sit at a restaurant or go for a walk in the park.
And it helps that parents feel extremely safe leaving their children alone in countries where this is normal.
Denmark’s Ministry of Social Affairs and Senior Citizens reported only 97 child abductions between the ages of 0 and 16, and the US News ranks the country as the second safest country in the world, trailing slightly behind Switzerland.
