I had no idea that people did this. This sounds expensive.
Just like other people have no idea that we (Scandinavia) let babies sleep outside in a baby carriage wrapped in a tiny sleeping bag. Fresh air is awesome. Cold air is even better.
This works for some babies and is not universal in any way.
I've been living in scandinavia for several years and I've never seen this happen in person. Just on reddit and now here.
I kinda doubt it's something widespread.
Around here (Northern Jutland, Danmark) this is the norm.
But do doubt away. :)

Perhaps just say "here in northern jutland" next time?
No one knows where that is. I've also heard this is very common in the northern Scandinavian countries, there are even little "houses" you can buy.
my friends in Boston do this where their baby. They call it “Nordic baby training” or something like that. They aren’t Scandinavian so the practice has at least some reach
> No one knows where that is.
Why not just say "europe" directly then? Everybody knows about that, and you don't seem concerned with correctness anyway.
Awesome. How cold?
There is no limit really. The baby is in warm clothes and in a sleeping bag during winter. Less clothes when its warm.
My children slept outside while it was below zero C. The only time they were not sleeping outside was while they were ill.. having a cold or something.
Edit: the limit is -10 C according to https://www.sst.dk/vidensbase/graviditet-og-smaaboern/barnet...
This is well known around here:
