Neighbour complaining about jumparoo

[SeaLeaf]

We live in a first floor apartment. Downstairs neighbour is complaining about 'thumping' noise when baby goes in jumparoo! I've put a foam mat under it and tried moving it to other rooms but she still complains! We have wood floors everywhere and I prefer to keep it in kitchen so I can cook!

He's 7months and uses it for about 30mins at a time, usually 7am, 9am, 1pm, 3pm, 6pm.

I feel she should put up with it, you can't expect silence in a building with families and what will happen when he's older and starts running and jumping?
Why should he be denied playtime in his favourite toy?

What do others think?

I don't feel so bad now that DH would put DS in the jumperoo for slightly more than my strictly allocated 30 min max a day (paed say 20). We do live in a detatached house though, and DS loved to jump!

Yes you need time to put the baby down and get on with stuff/have a cup of tea but 2.5 hours a day is too long, even without the neighbour. For me it got easier once he could sit up by himself. Then he could crawl and it got harder again!

glad you have now heard the noise, tho sure you didnt listen to it for 30mins and then again 2hrs later for another 30mins etc etc

they are a good toy but need to used within reason, one as so bloody noisey, two as not good for a babies hips to bounce for that long every day - 2.5hrs is FAR too long

sounds like you plonk him in it to stop crying while you do stuff

glad you are going to limit his use

sounds to me he needs to learn to be left alone for 5/10 mins while you are in the next room doing chores - yes not nice for a baby to cry, but he needs to learn that you go away but come back, so leave and return and make a fuss/cuddle

or prop him up on cushions with toys and he can play and watch

pop in highchair with toys while you cook

he needs proper daytime sleep 3 x 25/30mins sleep on you /pram isnt good

so needs to learn to self settle daytime which will help with night time sleep - sleep training at night shouldnt take more then 10/14 days tops

He's 7months and uses it for about 30mins at a time, usually 7am, 9am, 1pm, 3pm, 6pm.
YABU for that by itself, that's far too much time in a jumparoo for a baby

and get some carpet mats - it's not your fault your rental is wood floors in a flat, but you can make it less awful for your neighbours

max 20mins 3xday

still excessive use, for the baby's sake
One 20 or 30 min session is okay, but 3 is still too much….
they are okay in moderation, but an hour a day is not moderation.

What I'd like to know is how YOU put up with him in it that much? My DD is lucky if she gets 10 mins every other day. The tunes it plays drives me so mad I want to throw it in the garden! And that's on the 'quiet' setting as well!

the music is awful

what a shame the batteries fell out got removed one day

DS had a couple of noisy toys that "broke" when the batteries failed what on earth posessed my brother to buy an unstoppable and unbelievably loud fire engine that changed direction every time it crashed into something but never actually stopped till the switch was thrown? - Oh, I know - he hadn't yet had children
