I live in flats. I can hear everything and I mean everything in my upstairs neighbours flat. Toilet flush, cough, morning sickness 3am vomits, the tv, their arguments, you name it I can hear it. She's aware of this and my assumption is she can hear my flat too so we kindve have a laugh about it in passing and then go about our day.
So as I mentioned previously, my neighbour has literally just had a baby. December 22nd. Throughout her pregnancy she had been smoking we*d and her and her partner have had huge intense fights, huge ones. Don't worry I have taken necessary precautions and contacted necessary people about certain things but I've come here to ask a really random question. If I can hear literally everything, why have I never heard her baby? From people with new borns, are their cries loud? If I can hear her throwing up, surely I'd hear her baby? I'm trying not to poke my nose where it doesn't belong (I am fully aware I'll probably get some people telling me I'm a noisy Parker and to get a life) but the mother has been going through a lot. Sometimes people need help and support, sometimes it's necessary to check in. To make sure everyone is safe but at the same time if anyone has had experience where their newborns are quiet and just snooze all the time then I don't want to cause distress to anyone because im clueless. I've attempted knocking with a 'welcome to the world gift' but no answer and I've text her to say congratulations, what's your little ones name and she read it but not replied. I'm just worried
