Should I apologise to our neighbours for our nighttime screaming baby?

He's nearly 6 months and has had a few weeks now of waking very frequently. I think he's teething but who knows... but he screams extremely loudly. Sometimes I wait for 5 or 10 mins before I go to him in case he settles himself (hasn't happened yet ) but usually I go in as soon as I hear him on the monitor. I'm aware that our neighbours bedroom is directly through the wall from ds' room and the woman has already commented that she sometimes hears him. Last night was a complete nightmare, him screaming even when he's been fed, rocked etc. At one point I went on strike and let my dh try to deal with him, which involved half an hour of crying and calpol spattering the walls. DH pointed out that the neighbours must hear a lot of this (I didn't tell him that she's already mentioned it!). Would it be silly to just say sorry about the racket when I next see the neighbours and assure them that we're doing all we can ...?

I think you did the right thing too. Could you move the baby elsewhere somtimes to give the neighbours a break?
