Is a fresh air nap good for baby?

Over the years I have come across lots of research linking a good night’s sleep in infants to having at least one daytime nap or sleep out in the fresh air, along with lots of outdoor play.

In the ideal world it would be good to put our babies outside for one sleep a day, however this is not always safe, so no longer a common practice everywhere. To encourage outdoor sleeps I have the pram nap included within most of my early routines.

Like in the below photo spotting a baby napping alone outside in frigid conditions isn’t necessarily a cause for concern in Denmark, Finland, or any other Nordic country. In these places, parents commonly put their babies down for a nap outdoors because they believe babies get a better night sleep after an outdoor day sleep in the fresh air. 

With the cold weather some of us are experiencing in Australia I thought it was a good time to remind you of how important these outdoor sleeps are. We currently have our Winter offer so it is a good time to stock up now.
