Definitely start a blog on it, even though Quora already dealt with it, then excerpt it on FR to get hits.
He referred to five hours of nightly crying.

Oh, and have a popover so folks can’t read your blog.
Here, just fricking go to Quora.
https://www.quora.com/Should-I-call-in-a-noise-complaint-on-a-family-with-a-crying-baby
How will a noise complaint do anything to fix the issue? It’ll just make a couple of already frazzled neighbors with a newborn angry with you. I assume the situation is an apartment - I’d just consider moving or get some noise-cancelling headphones for the night.
As the dad of a kid who had terrible colic when we lived in an apartment, I sure am glad nobody called the cops on me.
With all the natural disasters this complaint seems quite trivial. People living the Big Thompson Canyon in Colorado where the big flood was have been living with closed roads and heavy equipment noise in their neighborhood for years.

Works like a charm; no hassles, no conflicts.
I’m a light sleeper in a building with thin walls. I sleep like a baby.
I’ve called in nuisance complaints on families with a crying blogger.

Children are a blessing from The Lord ... which makes them utterly intolerable to selfish pukes (sadly an accurate description of many Americans, it’s how trash ideologies like progressivism — which is mainly generous with other people’s means as well as being entitled — prosper on one extreme).
It isn’t that they cannot be annoying, but being annoyed and tolerating is an entirely different matter than with those so full of themselves that they will not tolerate them.
If a crying baby puts you so far out that you think you should use the law to do something about them then the problem is with you, not them. Get over yourself.
If not then take the polite route - relate a story about how a baby hearing echoes of its own crying can compound the issue causing even more crying. Putting up tapestries or the like to deaden the sound can really help the baby to find calm.
That serves the dual purpose of providing a solution while also informing them that neighbors are well aware of the noise without having to say so directly.
No. Never call the police for anything.
We have an obnoxious woman that lives next door who has a Great Pyrenees that barks all night sometimes. That low pitched bark really carries. I’ve had a few words with her about it with no effect, so I’m taking a different tact.
My son — who is an actual rocket scientist — is building me an ultrasonic sound cannon that will send a 200W 24K-30K Hz tone toward the offending dog’s direction. We haven’t tested it yet, but I’m hoping it works.
The alternative is a stray gunshot or dognapping...
Maybe try some foam earplugs.
I’m the typo who will go to certain (sober) neighbors and complain if their music is too loud, but I don’t know about this one. I can usually tell if it’s a very young infant crying, as opposed to a nursery school child just mad that the candy ran out. Many kids quickly learn about ‘fake crying’, that gets louder the more the parent pays attention to the noise.
My guess is the parents of a screaming baby don’t want the noise either, and would immediately take out their frustrations on me. I try to deal with it. I often wonder how the parents can stand it, so close to the noisemaker.
Sometimes, I hear a neighbor child crying and conclude that this child is mentally disabled, and tends to fly into hysteria over level of frustration.
Safer to say nothing, unless you know there is abuse going on.
Yeah, call the police. That'll help things.

The only sure fix is cutting the auditory nerve, but try the ear plugs first.
Yeah, let the police handle it. Dam police state mentality.
