I was on my PN thread the other day. And one of my lovely ladies told me that :
"There is a general feeling on here that leaving them out in the garden where you can't see them is a BAD thing though"
So is this a MN crime then ?
Becasue if I return from the school run and ds2 has dropped off, I pop him in the garden with the back door open. And the upstairs window open. And so I can hear him, if he makes a minor murmur. And I wander round the house, kitchen , upstairs, putting washing away. And I can not see him.
And I beleive this is o.k.
If someone had the sole intention of stealing him they would have to deliberately jump over my 6 foot wooden fence. Now this is of course A RISK. But I have considered it.
My mil swears that letting babies sleep outside is good for them.
There is risk. And then there is 'risk'. Are we not all becoming a bit too risk scared ?

Is it a MN crime to leave your sleeping baby in the garden, if you can't see them ?
