Please tell me I am not the only one dealing with noisy people! Once you get the baby calmed down & down for a nap it seems like all of a sudden folks pop up making all sorts of noise. I try to nicely explain that certain noise or activities will wake the slumbering baby. The nice explanation went out the window real quick so now I threaten to leave the screaming child with who ever woke him up in the first place.
I need to post a DO NOT list:
1. do not rattle paper or cellophane bags
2. do not RING my damn doorbell if you are visiting. TEXT!
3. do not call the house at 10pm at night. *ringer has been turned off
i could go on & on....

This. My baby sleeps through the world and its awesome. I've never been one for silence when he's sleeping. I will say if he's overstimulated, I do seek out a quiet room to calm him to sleep. However, generally, there is no quiet baby sleeping rule in our house.
Lol! I would sit her right in his room one night when he wakes her up. I bet he would remember then!
DH cousin has EIGHT kids and she suggested not being quite around our LO during the day. So we have always had noise on during the day so he learns to sleep though loud noises. Our dog barks a lot, the TV is on, I am on the phone, etc. Since day 1 he has been able to sleep through loud noises which is wonderful. At night we keep it quite though so he knows that it is bed time and sleeps for a longer stretch. That being said I hate it when I just put him down for a nap and someone comes over and just wants to pick him up and wake him up that way ugh.
Keep some white noise (or music, TV, radio) playing near LO while sleeping so it will muffle random noises.
For me, half the problem is that I want it to be silent for a little while, LOL.
