Answer 1

Babies can cry a lot, but they aren't any louder than stereos or tvs. My baby really did not cry that much, but everyone is different.

Also, babies can sleep through a lot. Plenty of babies live in apartments on busy roads. It is also really loud when for babies when they are still inside you. All the fluids arounds their ears right now mean that they are used to loud noise when they are born!

Babies are very adaptable, so don't worry about the noise too much. You should try to get a white noise machine or a nice music box. That could help.

Answer 2

Well, it really depends on the temperamnet of your child.

My child did not cry much at all as a newborn, and even when she did, it was so soft and quiet- she didn't have the lung capacity to belt out a good wail!

Upon saying that, however, she has more than made up for her astounding silence as a newborn. She has a set of pipes that could rival any bloody pop diva around!

I guess if you've signed the contract, then that's it. I wouldn't worry about it too much, it is amazing how understanding complete strangers can be when a child enters the situation! I am not saying that it will be easy, but it is definitely possible.

Keep a positive mind, invest in a couple of soothing cds (never really had to use them, but friends found them very soothing for a whingey newborn), or even just tune the radio softly to white noise- it is said to mimic the sound of the world to a baby inside the womb...

And besides, student's whom are renting are usually so bloody depserate and grateful to have a roof over their head (God knows, I was!) that nothing besides that really brings them down too much. And just like someone else said, a newborn crying is no louder than a tv set or stereo, and again, I actually found my daughter slept best WHEN the tv/stereo/vacuum cleaner was on!

Good luck with everything, I am sure it will work out wonderfully! Enjoy your baby when s/he comes, and don'y let any whingey neighbours bring you down!

Ok you are six pregnant i hope you know by now how your baby sleep schedule. You can put your baby on a sleeping schedule now. First in the morning when you wake up your baby wakes up to make sure you move stomach a little to alert the baby and eat. Then when you take a nap or go to bed at night rub your stomach so you can sooth the baby oh yeah make sure you eat a light snack so your baby wont wake up so many times at night. If you do this your baby will get use to one schedule and when it comes it wont cry as much and will already have a daily pattern. The first couple of days to a week or so the it will be hard for you and your baby to get adjusted to the new schedule but it will sufficent. I didnt do that for my first child and she cried and cried. Then i talked to the doctor and he gave me the same adviice im giving you so do this. And yes the noise might bother the baby a little but it depends on how hard the baby sleeps. Good luck with your pregnancy and contact me at [e-mail] if you have more questions.

I can understand your concerns about this I would be as well if I was you. Now I am an older mum of 5 kids. I got them use to noise as soon as I got them home. How did I do that well what I did I would put the vacuum cleaner on in there rooms while they were going to sleep and leave it on for awhile while they slept.

I would also put on music while I did the house work loud not so loud that I would get complaints from neighbours but so I could hear it all over the house our house was not that large but it was still loud enough. so that is my advice to you get them use to noise after all they could hear all the noise while asleep or awake in your tummy so then when people bring them home start tip toeing around and saying shh the baby is sleeping annoys me a big as they need to be use to noise. Good luck

Answer 5

Babies do cry, but that is to be expected. That is their only means of communication. The roommate realize you have a baby coming as it may distract studying. As for the baby, maybe you could run an air cleaner... makes a humming noise and good for the air quality to drown out noise from others. Good luck with this all. It will be tough, no doubt. By the way, parents will melt down once they see the baby.

Answer 6

It depends on the baby. They are all different. Some cry more than others, like if they get gassy, or colicky. Start a binder with info printed from the internet on how to relieve gas, or ideas for colicky babies, etc. Also pick out a pediatrician soon and you can also get info from them. Invest in a White Noise machine. That will help lull baby to sleep and help keep outside noises to a minimum. Also, have you signed up for WIC? Since you are a student and single most likely you will qualify for vouchers. You can start getting them while pregnant and continue to get them, in most states until your child is 5 years-old.

Answer 7

If it is very noisy there where you live,it will probably effect your Baby somehow.I would rather be concerned if the people/students in-the neighborhood are effected when the Baby cries.When they want to study but you can't calm down the Baby they might be disturbed.I wish you would have enough money so you can live in a better place.It is a shame that your parents are acting so immature and they don't even want to see the Baby?

Answer 8

Newborns ought to nurse a minimum of 10-12 cases an afternoon. particular, this is plenty. No, you will no longer function the comparable as you probably did beforehand toddler. the 1st 6 weeks with a sparkling toddler are particularly all-eating, no remember the form you feed them. Breastfeeding takes a while to get the cling of, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that this is quite worth it! look on the hyperlink decrease than for stable information approximately what to assume mutually with your newborn.

Answer 9

Depends on the baby. Some have colic and cry almost all the time for a few months. Some are so quiet you can almost forget you have them. Who is going to keep this child while you are in class? How are you going to pay for it's food, medical needs, diapers, etc.? Babies usually need a steady routine with a regular feeding and sleeping schedule.

Answer 10

A lot depends on the baby's disposition. Some do just fine in noisy conditions - they seem to get used to them.

Hang in there - it will be pretty tough having a baby and going to school. Have you made arrangements for a sitter?

Best of luck!
