      Apparently I was once left sleeping in my pram in the courtyard if our block in central Helsinki when my mom popped indoors to pick up her cigarettes.
      I must have started crying at some point as when she returned, she found a wino comforting me.
      Mum proceeded to kick the wino out, but said she felt a bit guilty afterwards. Still not sure if that was about leaving me or kicking that guy.

    The babies are fully clothed and the strollers are also equipped with blankets, some people even have extra blankets with them. The fresh, cold air is VERY beneficial for a child's health and it doesn't happen that some random person comes to steal your baby. Besides, you're always keeping an eye out while your baby is resting. It's not weird... all of the nordic countries does this. xD
    We have name days in Sweden too, and I've got a first name and a middle name, and both of these names are within a month of eachother. :P But tbh... I've never really understood the reason to why this exist. I've never given it a 2nd thought other than having people call me to say "Congratulations on you name day". Everytime I'm all "Oh, that's today? Thanks, I guess." xD

    All Nordic countries does this; Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Denmark. It's not like the kids sleep outside for the full night, while we go inside to sleep, it's while us adults who mind the children are awake. This is for naps and such. The kids are dressed appropriate with enough bedding.
    Here in Sweden we use the inhale sound for the word 'yes' too, I am in the middle part of Sweden and it's used here. We don't even say "ja" sometimes when inhaling, we just do like a "whistle inhale", or like the sound when you drink soup of a spoon.
    We also have name-days in Sweden. Growing up it was a bigger thing, in my family we got presents on our name day. It's still special when people remember to say congratulations on your name day, or write you, send you a card or give you a call.

    I get the silence.
    I remember when I was young, me and my friends used to drive around and sit in park in a 80s VW Polo, talking, listening to music, smoking (dont worry, Ive quitted since). And it was normal to just sit quiet, if there was nothing to say. Thinking about what was said earlier, thinking about own thoughts, maybe someone reading a magazine or a book (didnt have smart phones back then). And when someone came up with something to say, the conversation started again.
    And another Finnish thing, we always had a 12-cup pump thermos that someone had swiped from somewhere in the back seat, everyone bringing their own coffee cups.
    Could spend all night like that, going home in the morning.
    So you can imagine seeing a banged up Polo in a librarys parking area 4 in the morning, with four dudes sitting in silence, drinking coffee.
    Ah, those were the days.

    Sauna, being naked naturally etc is the best part of the Finnish culture I think. It removes your suits, it removes your status, there's just you as a human being sitting in löyly.

    Babies don´t sleep outside at night, only daytime naps for couple of hours at the most. You dress the baby up properly and in a warm sleeping bag and have enough blankets under and over. Stealing babies is not common at all in Nordic countries and you´d have your baby sleeping on your balcony, porch or when you are walking your baby in a stroller.

    One thing I just thought of that's different in Finland: when its your birthday or name day or cat christening (kissanristiaiset, used to mean any excuse for a party) YOU are supposed to invite people and get ready with coffee, pulla, cake, cookies or snacks and drinks. That is a sophisticated way of telling people you want to celebrate. In the States (where I've lived for decades) parties tend to be surprises. I've even read about a workplace where this guy did not want anybody to even know about his birthday and told so to his boss but the boss arranged a party anyway. Guy sued his employer and won. There would've been no need for a lawsuit in Finland...
    How is it in your country?

  • @magicofshootingstar5825
    @magicofshootingstar5825 7 месяцев назад +5

    Two comments: Firstly about babies. That video made it sound like the babies only sleep outside in the winter. That's not true, they sleep outside around the year. In the winter they just need clothes and in the summer shadow. You asked about being afraid of people stealing the baby. Well since most of the babies are sleeping outside if possible, that's not a thing. Even if there would be some kind of whacky person (which is extremely rare), chance of them picking your baby is slim to none. Also some people walk with the baby in a stroller until baby falls asleep and then transfers the strollers into the balcony. That's still part of your apartment but outside. Usually people also have babymonitors (is that what it's called? Like oneway baby walkie-talkie) in the stroller so they hear when there is noises at the stroller. Usually it means baby is waking up but also you can hear if something weird happens and react to that.
    Secondly about the transparent tax thing: I think it's quite rare for someone to call and ask the wages of others but there is "tax day" when they publish all the taxes from the last year. Then they print top earners from country, your county (not sure if that's right word, but close enough) and/or your city/town to magazines. Smaller the magazine, more info you get eg. one-town-only magazine will print info of that towns people while magazine that's advertised for half of the country only probably has countrys top earners. I think many look those listings with some kind of curiosity.
    Main thing though why those listings are important, I think, is so the bosses can't favor anyone. If you suspect someone in your workplace gets more money by doing the same work, you can always check if it's true and ask your boss why that is and maybe get raise. Also you can check people in other companies doing the same job to see if your companys wages are fair.

Both me and my sister did, and I have memories from kindergarden when a lot of the kids slept outside in our strollers. Ofc we had supervision but I remember it pretty well! I have no idea if they still commonly do that at kindergardens though, I was in kindergarden in the early 2000's. I have no memory of feeling cold, I just have good memories related to sleeping outside. But I get it that it sounds a bit weird lmao. Love your videos!

    I slept my daytime naps outside in in a toboggan no matter how cold it was. Temperatures were in some occasions lowr than -30 degrees Celsius but most often around -10 - -15. My ”record” is somewhere around -39/-40 ˚C. And I slept quite well according to my parents. They just added more insulation when it was extremely cold and curled a kind of tube from the blankets to keep my face from getting cold. Our hunting dog was always outside in a leash acting as a baby alarm. When I woke up and started to cry or mumble, it started to bark briskly and alerted my parents. This was over 55 years ago.
    Decades later me and my wife did the same with our kids, only that we had baby walkie talkie instead of a watchdog. In addition to infant winter clothes we put a soft and warm sheephide and layers of blankets for the baby if needed. No problemo.

    Having second hand days in the market or park area is only at summers. We do have a lot of second hand stores where we rent a table to sell our stuff, Finns also have several online second hand stores where people sell their stuff, plus facebook groups. I have bought almost all my furniture as second hand and a lot of my clothes. There is proper videos about thrift shop culture in Finland that show it better. If you visit Finland, I highly suggest to visit a thrifts shop too.

    We have several types of second hand options:
    1. Online market places. Some are like ebay; some are run by individuals who buy stuff and resell it.
    2. Second hand stores where you can rent a table for a fixed period of time and bring your stuff to be sold.
    3. Second hand stores run by individuals; these are usually more specialised, like vintage store or sports gear store etc. Not very common, probably only in Helsinki.
    4. Second hand stops run by charities though in the case of Finland they are almost all somehow religious such as Fida (Church mission), Pelastusarmeija (Salvation army) etc. I mean, shops are not religious in any way, just the organisation behind the shop. UFF is a notable exception for this as it isn't religious foundation.
    5. Second hand shops run by Kierrätyskeskus, the Finnish recycling center
    6. Flea markets. These are the ones shown in video and yeah, this is a summer thing.

When you sleep in -10°C but you are warm in that sleeping bag inhaling the cold air you feel relaxed after. It's almost same kinda "high/buzz" you get from sauna, but instead of getting sleepy after sauna you feel like you've had a good rest and you are immediately alert and ready to go.

    It's common for babies to fall asleep while you are taking a walk in their strollers /prams. Then after your walk, when you arrive at your destination..you don't want to wake them up, just let them sleep for as long as they can. So you regularily check on them so they don't wake up and you didn't hear them.
    the other reason is that lower temperatures helps you sleep better, so you wake up more fully rested and happier, less fussy as a baby. Fresh air is also great to get as much of as possible, and for babies that doesn't exactly play outdoors in the winter a good way for them to get nice clean air is to have them sleep outside. it's healthier. We do it in Sweden as well. they aren't cold obviously, the are dressed well and packed in warm snuggly blankets etc, we also have very winter friendly prams / strollers here in the north.

    We use bed covers during the day that cover the entire bed and you take it off when you go to sleep with your separate blankets. Of course some people don't care about how it looks so they don't😅

    The babies are swaddled well before placing them in their stollers, so they are quite warm (plus thermometers are also used to monitor them). My mom told me that one time in winter my older sisters had such a deep sleep that they didn't wake up even when some water began dripping from the gutter after sun began to shine.
    Also, dubbed films are horrible since many things don't translate smoothly. I rarely even use subtitles since it's distracting, I can understand english just fine. If it's any other language, then subtitled are on.

    A lot of this applies to Sweden and I guess Norway as well. :) like not dubbing the movies, kids napping outside despite the cold, loppis and second hand, name days etc... :) and the inhaling while saying yes is very common in the north of Sweden.. :D

    The separate duvets and mattreses.. its a way to make ones marrige to last longer, becuse we are different, som need a soft mattress others a harder one, its the same with duvets, som freezes and like a thicker quilt inside there bedcover! And everyone need to have a good sleep!

    Sleeping outside had be done for me also. It do not mean that baby is thrown at snow and left for all night there. It is good for your blood circulation, you sleep better, you get more healthy and so on. And no, there are no wierd people who would kidnap kids or so.

    Babies need sleep. Swaddling makes babies sleep (nap) better. In reasonable cold temperatures thick clothing on babies functions as a swaddle. Also, people sleep better in reasonably cool temperatures (lower metabolism). Hyperthermia possibility is taken in account, and babies are monitored. It's weird, if people think silence means there's something wrong between people. Same thing with need to smile constantly to prove friendliness. Probably some basic trust issue in society. Those shower compartments exist in Finland also. and more commonly so. There used to commonly be outhouses, which had one continuous bench with E.g. six holes on it do the business. Compared to those, those open showers are a picnic. Foreigners living in Finland usually get a Finnish nickname. They too get to celebrate a (nick)name day. How would Taneli sound to you? Tane for short. Taneli's name day is 11th December, so just a few days away. Finland was ranked as 2nd least corrupted country in 2022 by Transparency. About that talking while inhaling. Here's the thing: Finns are so talkative, they speak both when exhaling and inhaling. They are accordions when it comes to talking.

    Finn here. Yes babys sleep very often outside in the cold because they sleep better and the cold is actually good for your bloodflow and that is true that when you wake up you are much more refreshed and there are no "wake up groginess" and there is a saying here that "speaking is silver, silence is gold" and it is by no means meant as offensive but we Finns just respect others space and we really love our silence. Sauna is a place where there are no hostilities it is a place of relax and meditation and where everyone is equal and a friend. No one cares how you look and no one judges

    I put my child to sleep in his bed but I opened the window so he can get fresh air. People sleep better when it's cool, and I myself sometimes sleep with the window a little open, even though it's winter

    I did take my kids outside for a nap twice a day even in the winter when they were babies (except when it was under -10 degrees) Personally I didn't feel comfortable leaving the baby "by themself". Instead me or my partner would go for a walk with the baby.

    Yes, I slept outside all the time, and my mother said I really enjoyed it. Also, I didn´t need very much blankets, as I would start to sweat, turn red and not sleep. This is true still as an adult, I´m practically Immune to cold. Also as a kid I watched my little brother sleeping outside, I kept an eye on him. I checked his warmth by feeling his nose, if it wasn´t cold, all was fine, if it was cold, I brought extra blankets. I agree with dubbing, it sucks, and having to read the subtitles help you learn to read in general, plus new words. Whether people are friends or not, I hate superficial "pals". I couldn´t care less about others´ salaries, maybe I should check the politicians´ incomes in case they hide something...

  • @petra9923
    @petra9923 7 месяцев назад

    Only during the day though 😅😂. Neither of my daughters could sleep during the day inside (if they were sick or it was like -30 or something) because they were so used to sleeping outside in the fresh air.
    1) My children are both born in summer, so they were already >5 months when it started to get cold
    2) With right equipment they were NEVER cold (sheep skin with fur on it) on the bottom and like a sleeping bag (made for strollers) and they can almost have inside clothes and still not get cold. A good, warm hat is a must and mittens, besause sometimes their hands end up outside the sleeping bag.
    3) My children has been outside in -20C sleeping for 2 hours and they were warm when they came inside
    4) We live in a very small town in southern Finland. In a calm and cosy neighborhood. The odds of someone coming to OUR house to take my child is astronomical. I could always see them from a window and they stood sheltered under a roof (made for a car with 3 walls). I also had a electronic baby watcher (one part out with the stroller and one part inside with me) so I could hear if they woke up. It was very sensitive, so I could hear if they even moved. I would DEFINITELY hear if someone would come a kidnap them.
    Why? Here it is just how you do it. Maybe not as much in bigger cities where it is alot harder to leave your child outdoors. More noice, and in that environment I wouldn’t be as confident to people leaving my child be. People usually do though. Sometimes you see babies sleeping outside a cafè when you pass by. Here outdoor air is so clean that it is seen as a beneficial thing for all humans. They do sleep better outside.

    Babies sleeping outside during winter:
    We clothe them well, so they stay warm. And sometimes when we take em inside and take the outer layers off, the babies might be sweaty, cause they were warm and cozy.
    Sleeping outdoors improves your quality of sleep and helps whit your Mind as stated in the video.
    Finland is one of the safest countries in the world. Kidnappings are EXtremly, extremly rare. We have common trust that no child shall be abducted. This trust is deep and goes back centuries. Were honest people.
    And thirdly: Nowdays we also have a sleeping monitor/Walkietalkie that helps us hear the baby if anything arises. We wont let them sleep more than hour or two MAX.

  • @ChristianJull

    It cannot be praised enough how beneficial the crisp cold outside air is. Babies benefit from it sleeping in prams (when parents are out and about, not overnight 😉). But adults benefit too, which is why winter activities are so popular in the Nordics. I had the fun of getting that well known recent virus again last week and was pretty crap for a couple of days. However, the time my head was the most clear and I felt best was when I took the dogs out to walk in -10°C. I felt worst in +22°C inside the apartment.
    Probably best to do the silence in conversation WITHOUT staring directly at the other person as you did. That's just psycho, man... 😂
    It concerns me more why anyone would be remotely interested in how much I earn rather than that anyone could check. The only reason I can think of why anyone would do that (besides credit checks) is if I'd been stopped for speeding and the police needed to calculate the day fine.

    When baby sleep outside to -10 C, parents keep baby on balcony or where can see he/she from window. It is also important to check skin temperature many times when baby sleep. Using very warm clothes is very important, but not too much to avoid sweat. Wind cover is also important, if too much wind then keep baby inside, because -5 C and 6 m/s wind feel like -11 C. I have 0 children, but i know basics.

    I have looked up how much people earn when applying a job. You can usually check the name of your potential future coworkers and then find out their salary. It makes it easier to negotiate your own. You don’t sabotage yourself by giving too high salary requirements or be okay with too low offer.

    All my three childen slept outside as babies, they hade lots of layers of clothing and a sleeping bag (the sleeping bag is provided by the government in the maternity box, please check that out too!) As I live in the countryside there is no risk for the baby to be taken, and of course we had a baby monitor to know when the baby is waking up :) My girls slept outside until the age of 3, then they just couldn´t fit in the pram anymore :D Sleeping outdoors is healthier (at least here were the pollution is minimal). Babies sleep longer and sounder in the fresh air and are happier! Fresh air has never killed anyone!!

    Regarding income information its part of having an open society that protects the system from corruption.

But at least its the same for everyone.

    Yeah me and my siblings all slept outside and not just as babies. I mean we all still do it but also I remember whenever my little brothers would be put outside to sleep in their strollers me and my older bros would laydown around them in the snow and nap with them. Sometimes my parents would even join us😁 It feels amazing and you're so refreshed afterwards!🤗 Also for some reason it's easier to fall asleep outside in general but especially in the little nippy weather.😊 Rain is also good weather so long as your under some kind of cover so as to not get wet.👍
