Up to about forty years ago that was normal practice. After a number of cases of babies being snatched, people stopped doing it. As far as I recall (I was a child myself at the time) these were mostly cases of disturbed women taking the babies, women who had lost their own babies.
I'm British and I certainly consider myself European. But there are many different peoples in Europe, a Scandinavian is different from a Latin who is different from a Slav .....
I was about to write the same thing. My great grandmom lived in Europe before bringing my grandmom to the US. I heard stories about her eating lunch at cafés while a little one was asleep in a carriage outside. Seems that was ok in certain parts of the country. IMO
