Question for anyone living in attached apartments:

I am the middle apartment of a three unit apartment building, my landlord lives next to me. One day I get a text at 130pm saying is everything ok I hear a lot of banging ( my 9 year old was excited walking back and forth) I admit yes it was loud I actually had asked him to walk lighter before I saw her text once I replied that she said “ok thanks” implying she was probably gonna ask we quiet down. Yesterday my son and I were doing chalk in the shared driveway out back it literally is the back yard and she texted me again asking “does that chalk all over the driveway wash off with water?” First off what chalk doesn’t but I say yes and she said thanks. Idk am I wrong for allowing my son to play chalk in a place I pay for? Our driveway out back is just a massive square of asphalt we mostly stayed in “our area” I’m just confused like is 1pm in the afternoon a time when families need to be quiet and should I have asked before using chalk? I’ve never dealt with this to be honest and we have workout equipment downstairs including a treadmill and treadmills can sometimes be loud so I’m just wondering if I’ll receive a text from her over every little thing. Overall we are very quiet to be honest but those two instances have me hyper aware of everything now.

And I mean I’m hyper aware because I do strive to be polite and respectful. Especially at night and early morning because to me that makes sense for “quiet hours” we aren’t typically running around the house like animals but my son does have nerf guns and such that if we do use may be a bit loud for 20 minutes. I just feel bad silencing my child in the middle of the day but if this is an unspoken rule of apartment living someone please enlighten me lol. My landlord is also extremely anxious and told me she’s going through menopause hahaha so idk if she’s prone to panic or freak out more than most may? Again I’m never trying to come off as rude so

I live in an apartment complex (there's 12 apartments in one building).. but our quiet hours are 10pm-7am.. and they mainly ask us to not do dishwasher, or laundry, or pounding nails into wall

I'm unsure about the chalk thing because we don't have a driveway or anything

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
