Soundproof the room where either the parents or the baby are would be more reliable to control the noise level by preventing it from reaching out instead of adding more. It could also be converted later into a music room

If “just soundproof the room” is an option, I’m guessing a night nanny’s in the budget, too. What we did was just one of us would sleep in another room with the monitor, and the other in our normal bedroom. Fan and door closed was all the soundproofing we needed in the normal bedroom. But that’s why having little space might make it a lot tougher—ours relied on having three rooms, two of which with sleeping-places for adults. And Ok we probably weren’t averaging 7 hours uninterrupted until about 6-8 weeks, but total sleep was consistently over 7, and uninterrupted of 6ish is a lot better than what many parents report (the ones where both get up for every feeding… I’ll never understand those folks) [edit] my overall point is that with just a little thought applied to the problem, and possibly some resources but likely not that much if you already live in a house instead of a small apartment, you’re not guaranteed impossibly-short sounding amounts of sleep just because you have an infant.

Oh I absolutely agree, I just wanted to understand the problem better and see if there was something I had missed!
