We have a 8 week old who isn't horrific at night but has the odd occasional wake up. I'm talking maybe two to three times. On a couple of incidents now our neighbour next door has banged on the wall when our baby cries/whines.

One was at 2am when I was at my wits end of my baby not settling and the other was at 9am when baby woke up and was just whining/stirring.

I'm livid and think we should say something. DH agrees it's annoying but isnt one for confrontation, DH's parents think we should apologise!!!

Wwyd, aibu in thinking it's common sense to know you can't control a baby. We don't leave our newborn to cry it out but DC cries. It's unavoidable and quite frankly being sleep deprived and a new mum it's the icing on the cake for my anger levels. Surely this "d"neighbour should be expected to control their reactions and how they respond.

Thing is the neighbour may be at the end of their tether with your DC not setting too if they are being woken up as frequently as you are every night. Why should they be expected to control how they respond?

Are you fucking serious? It’s a baby ffs
