There is no soundproofing at all and I can even hear what the neighbors are watching on t.v.

Nope. Legally it would be against the law. If the cops are called just explain to them that you have an infant. Most cops have kids. They understand. If you neighbor calls the cops often just discuss it with your landlord. I would also suggest maybe talking with your neighbor before the baby comes, and maybe telling them your sorry about any crying they will have to endure (maybe make up a plate of cookies to share with them while talking to them.

I don't think so. Also, crying is a baby's way of communicating to you. It is an indication that they are usually too hot or cold, hungry, have a soiled diaper , over-tired (over stimulated) or gassy. Process of elimination usually helps you discover which.

You can try soothing music and dimmed lights too, to aid a baby in transitioning to sleep.

ALSO, you asked a good question yesterday about a family member and picked my answer--thanks! I wanted to offer some feedback but the space was too small-- so here it is:

You're right about my answer being a little serious. I guess I am sensative to this because I too have a family member that showed no regard or respect for other's wishes and bounderies. After talking about the situation to a friend who is a family therapist, I was educated about the consequences of allowing it to continue. It did continue and we had to send a clear and strong message that it wouldn't be tolerated. Period.

After a few months, the relative (my brother in law) realized we were serious. He matured instantly (isn't that amazing?) appoligized to our children and us the parents and has kept appropriate behaviors since. Over the last several years, he has gained more respect and love from our kids and listens to their and others feelings 100 x more than before. His eyes just needed to be opened. I hope it is the same for your brother.

No. There is actually a provision in most rental contracts that says that children cannot affect whether you are accepted on a lease and cannot affect your continued lease agreement unless space is an issue (ie you and 3 kids in a 2 bedroom unit).

Absolutley not! Children are a protected class underneath the fair housing. If you do get kicked out you could have a law suit on your hands. Babies cry and if your neighboors have a problem they can move out!

No, I don't think a baby crying is violating noise ordinance if dogs barking isn't violating noise ordinance. (tried to get something done about a neighbors neurotic dog... no luck)

If you are neglecting that baby and not tending to the baby's needs properly, yes you can be kicked out.

I do not think your baby will cry enough to cause a problem.
