...if the baby is home there's a pretty good chance they have a nanny. Or a spouse or other family member caring for the baby. Is your company willing to pay to soundproof their home office so you don't hear their dogs/kids/next door neighbour's construction noise?

Yeah! and tell your dog to stop barking and the lawn guys to stop with the gas leaf blowers already. The nerve of some people to allow such noises at their home

Maybe a spouse is taking care of the baby and the baby is crying. Babies cry. You sound like a horrible person.

You do realize we've had one of the worst cold and flu and COVID and whatever else communicative disease seasons ever?

That parents are having a hard time finding kids ibuprofen and other over the counter kids meds?

That you can't send your kid to daycare when they're sick?

No. This is the new normal. Just like it's going to next to impossible to make everyone go in 5 days a week. Get used to it

Maybe the baby is crying in the background with the nanny? Its 2023 and we are still judging others?

If this is the first time it's happened with this person, STFU and have some compassion.

If this is the 5th time it's happened over the course of a couple weeks, then yes - they need to find accommodations.
