One bed flats

It can feel cramped but it's definitely doable. We moved when my kid had just turned 1 into a two bedroom and it was absolutely fine. You just might want to get out more as it can be confining in a smaller place. But all babies need is a place to sleep and they're happy as can be

You can't worry about your situation, it is what it is and you'll make the absolute best of it for your little one. If you can look to move to somewhere of similar value, maybe this is an option to remove the annoying neighbour, but the grass isn't always greener. As long as your baby has somewhere to sleep, something to eat and lots of cuddles, that's all you can do. X

Yeah I definitely am looking and I love my one bed and don’t want to leave just yet😩 just worried about this bloody neighbour x

I lived in one bedroom flat with my little one until she was 5 years old. I wouldn't worry about your neighbour, remember it's your home too what u do in your flat is up to you and if your worried about baby crying it's normal. Some ppl are just miserable and need to get a life.

We had a terrible neighbour who came banging on our front door to threaten my 5 month old teething baby in the middle of the night. I kept thinking during my pregnancy it would get better with the neighbours but it really didn’t. We moved 2 weeks later. My advice would be to move as soon as you can. If really affects your mental health. Even now I get worried when he cries in public thinking it’ll happen again.

Feel for you, I'm in exactly the same situation and my neighbour downstairs is so anti-baby, she complained to me about all of the noise the neighbours babies/kids were making already before we even moved in... it is what it is in my opinion, I rent this flat - if she has something to say, say it to the landlord! My boyfriend always reminds me that my baby girl won't find the space small because everything seems huge to her right now, and she just needs to feel loved! On the plus side, it's less to clean and you can't physically have loads or toys etc. so waaaay less to put away at the end of everyday! xx

your neighbour can’t possibly complain about your newborn & if he does you landlord will not action is as a newborn crying is inevitable to be honest it wouldn’t be classed as a noise complaint like playing music or having a party at 2am I wouldn’t worry or overthink it x

Thank you all so much for such lovely comments!!! I think we are going to stay where we are for a year or so just because this flat is so convenient and so cheap compared to moving to a 2 bed it’s about £600 less and considering maternity pay is so shit😂 xxx

Husband baby dog and I live in a room together while our house gets renovated and we’re all fine

Most babies stay in their parents room anyway. Don’t worry what other people say. Tell them to mind their own business. lol
