[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other option is to go ask the neighbor if she/he minds a few nights of possible crying baby.  Let neighbors know the perameters: you'll let baby cry max 15 minutes, or whatever.  Bring wine.[/quote]

I'm in a small apartment. First sound proof the room the best extent you can: anything soft will help absorb sound. Carpet on floor and rug padding beneath, even over wall to wall carpeting. Curtains on windows. Quilt hanging on wall. All these things will help absorb sound.

Second, consider layout of room. Can crib be moved to an interior wall? Is it away from radiators and other places where sound transmits?

Last, and very important, buy a really good white noise maker. Please near "sound leak" like a radiator or window or door. I use the bathroom fan and a white noisemaker near the window to keep my neighbors happy.

Set a time parameter and talk to neighborts. Begin sleep training on a long weekend, like the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. My DS was sleep trained within two nights, so it is not a long time for them to catch on to the gist of it; it's just a rocky first and second night.
