Neighbors baby wakes me up

[kingat]

Hi, it is early Saturday morning and I am up again because the neighbors baby woke me up again. He is around 1.5 and still wakes up at least two times each night and gets up at 6. We are in terraced house and my bedroom is next to his nursery. He cries for them really loud, more like screams which is followed by them running to him and then some noisy shuffling. In themorning they seem to let him play in his cot for about 30mins and I can hear that, so cant go to back to sleep. He then runs around the bedrooms babling and they are talking loud and it is just very noisy. So my question is what can I do? AIBU to complain to someone? Who?

Lol to the idea that parents somehow are enjoying the screams or that they've not tried 5 million techniques to get it to stop when you find the magic solution please start a thread ASAP as I really REALLY want to know.

This is definitely a reverse

I'll judge you all I fucking like when you call a child Satan thankyou.

Signed, person who's currently been 'putting up' with 8years of screaming from an autistic son. Thankfully, my neighbours are a lot more considerate because they've not managed to find the mute button on their kids either.

Earplugs or sound proofing. Carry over noise is part and parcel of living in a terraced residential property.

RemainOptimistic well clearly you haven't looked hard enough for the 'off' button. Have you contacted the manufacturers?

Just a short headsup as to why posters might take offence to a child being described as Satan.

Could you reposition furniture in your room if you can't swap rooms? I know it sounds odd but putting a big wardrobe against a partition wall stopped me from murdering a previous neighbour who had an early morning phlegm habit

It does sound like the walls are really very thin. Is it a new build?

Ah Jon so easily offended!

When my DD was born, our neighbour (whom we'd never met) came round and said, "have you just had a baby? Can You keep it quiet at night please?"

Er. Can YOU???? And if you can, you'll be a millionaire!

After that DP held DD next to the dividing wall when she cried to make me laugh (and cry at the same time, stupid hormones!).

I know it's really annoying but if it's just normal childhood noises, i.e. The parents aren't taking the piss and letting them play loud music and run around late at night etc, it's just part of living in a flat/terrace/semi, sorry.

The OP is either a reverse or has chosen the wrong forum for this one

Did you read the article about a baby being murdered and being called Satan? I hardly think JonSnowWife is easily offended.

You certainly can't complain. Could you move your bedroom away from being next to the baby's room. This could help a bit. It won't last for ever hopefully. Maybe only a few more months with luck. Unlike noisy older children or barking dogs. Give me a baby crying any day. But agree it's no fun in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep.

You want to complain about a baby waking up and night, crying, playing, running around and babbling? Who exactly are you going to complain to?

First and only post. Just checked.

Have you tried silicone ear plugs? They have literally changed my sleep completely because I was so noise sensitive. They work so much better than other types but most people seem to have only tried the foam ones. The BioEars brand is good, also Boots own brand.

Ah Jon so easily offended

Not so. I've been around Mumsnet a long time and little phases me, but yes if pulling goady fuckers up on calling children Satan is being 'easily offended' then I'll wear that title with pride.

Thankyou @Mummyoflittledragon.

You can always tell the GFs, and when it's Saturday, they're usually bored. Also usually the ones who zone in on one poster thinking she's new when a number of others have said the same bloody thing.

kaytee87 well there must be a baby noise policing department somewhere.

Perhaps it can be logged with 101?

Ur welcome. Seen you around often enough recently. I think we have talked briefly before on a thread.

That’s one unreasonable little toddler. I think you need to complain to the unreasonable toddler police, they will have a word with him for you.

Alternatively. Move house, move bedroom, sound proof your bedroom, or get ear plugs.
