Can hear a baby wailing a couple of streets away…

…Clearly desperate to sleep but too hot and overwrought - I feel so sorry for its parents (they seem to be trying everything, as sometimes they nearly soothe it, then ramps up again, and sometimes it gets more distant as they presumably walk around with it).

Its been years since I had a non-sleeping baby, but I remember how awful it felt, trying all ways to get them to sleep, knowing that sleep is what they need, but it just not happening - if it wasn’t such a weird thing to do, I’d knock on their door and offer to have a go whilst they have a break!!

Weird question but are you sure it's not a fox?

They sound uncannily like really distraught babies sometimes.

It would make sense with it sometimes sounding more distant.

Oh no, it was definitely a baby, it was coming from a bedroom window! Hope its poor parents got it settled at last - it’s so distressing when you just can’t calm them.
