Neighbourly issue

Hi, just looking for some advice, our DD is 4 1/2 months and is currently going through sleep regression. This is not an issue as we are dealing with it in our own way.. the issue is our neighbours. We rent our property and they own...every time our DD is crying upstairs which funnily enough all babies do we get whacking on the wall from next door!!!
Now I don't know whether it's the adults or whether it may be the kids as our wall is next to what I think is one of the kids rooms. Thing is they have two girls who screech, scream, cry, argue and are pretty loud from about 6am and we don't say a word (I grew up in a family of girls so know exactly how it is) could I get some advice on how to approach this issue?? Feel like we need to move at moment and don't want to as we love this house and area
Thanks in advance 😀😀

Hi OP, how annoying for you! How long is baby crying for? If it’s just an ‘I’ve woken up and I need mum/dad’ that is ridiculous. What are the neighbours like in general? I would just knock and smile sweetly asking if the baby has been bothering them in the night. If they say yes, just say you’re really sorry it’s bothering them but you can’t see a solution and make a joke of how it bothers you in the night too! Or something... if they say no ask if it bothers the kids.

Just normal baby crying hun not screaming the house down for hours.. actually she a pretty quiet baby just has her moments like any other!! They are usually polite and pleasant, will say hello as they pass and ask how we are etc... this is what makes me think it's one of the kids but the bang on the wall the other night was so loud I ran out of the bathroom cause I thought someone had been hurt!!
It's just if they say they have a problem I'm going to get quite annoyed as she can't help it and I can't do anything about it because it's normal an she can't and won't be moving into her own room until she 6 months old as wont do it sooner for her and certainly not for someone else.
Thanks for replying SmileSmileSmile

No way! If they have a problem, try to stay calm and just say exactly that, that she can’t help it and won’t be like that forever. You never know it might be the kids and they might be mortified!
