Can I escape from flat rent contract because of neighbours?

Where a parent chooses to have their baby sleep is of no concern to you, my son went into his own room at 9 weeks because he would wake us with sleep noises, my oh would wake him farting, I would wake him turning over etc. It just didn't work and he was much more settled for it.

How do you KNOW it takes them up to 10 minutes to go to the baby? How do you KNOW they haven't gone straight in yet the baby is fractious and inconsolable? How do you KNOW they aren't changing it's nappy before starting the night feed and the baby is impatient? It seems you have made a few assumptions and have never had or been around people that have had babies.

If you have signed up for another 6 months then it seems you're stuck there. It's not the baby's fault you're a light sleeper. And don't hang on to the hope that the baby will grow out of it, my son is nearly 2 and still wakes during the night

Don't dismiss ear plugs. You can get made-to-measure ones. I got mine from a hearing aid specialist. They are manufactured from silicone impressions of your ears, fit perfectly and are available with different levels of noise reduction.

Mine work a treat and I can comfortably wear them all night. They are not cheap (but a lot cheaper than moving house).

Sacha thats a bit harsh on the OP.


Really earplugs and/or earmuffs are the answer. Especially soft foam earplugs. They are comfy and I wouldn't be without them!

I would assume, as the OP can hear the baby crying, that they would hear footsteps also.

Unless his upstairs neighbours are made of cotton wool. Or hve invented the hover board.

SO what if it takes them 10 minutes...that is not really of any concern to anyone...maybe they are doing sleep training for all we know...


I would go with others and use earplugs or move as soon a legally possible

Or perhaps are walking around in bare feet so as not to wake anyone else?...

The baby will grow out of it in a few months. Until then, there is little you can do but put up with it.

Why would you ever need to leave a newborn baby crying for 10 minutes?

You can't sleep train a newborn baby, they need to be fed every couple of hours around the clock.

Do you have children?

We don't know how old the baby is.


and Yes I Do

And I do sympathize with the OP, we have three young professionals living above us in a victorian house...the rest i don't need to say

OP states newborn. The baby is clearly waking up a couple of times a night, so it must still be very young.
