I have a DS 19 months who wakes in the night up to 3 times a week. Each time he crying for 5 mins tops while we do his nappy and get milk etc. Very occasionally he'll cry for longer or will wake more times a week but that's not usual - less than monthly. Many weeks he'll sleep through every night.
A few months ago neighbour came to complain about this. We were flummoxed. We don't leave him to cry and couldn't see what more we could do but anyway started being even quicker to respond to DS.
Neighbour now bangs on wall when DS cries - sometimes before I've even got down stairs so we're talking under 2 mins.
I went round to see neighbour as this is getting bonkers and he went on about how we're totally unreasonable, he's not going to lose years of his life over this, we're entitled and should make sacrifices etc and them said he might instruct a solicitor.
I'm at a loss really. What more can I do? And what would a solicitor do? Can you really take action again someone for a crying baby?
I'm quite good at taking the heat out of debates so we left it with me saying 'we're doing all we can' and him saying 'ok but it can't go on'. He suggested in all seriousness I give DS gin but said 'you don't have to I'm just saying it works'
Any advice apart from ignore it from now on?
