Very difficult to fix without properly addressing the exterior problem but there are damp resisting products you can paint on the plaster to stop the damp from penetrating through to the emulsion. It usually has a very high VOC content so you might need to plan around a time when your wife and baby are outdoors and keep the room well ventilated. Then emulsions on top.
Or curtains :)

I have a question concerning flaking paint (please see pictures). The flat was newly painted last year when we moved in but overall it's a shoddy job and we will repaint everything in the future . I am fairly sure it's happening due to the drain pipe alongside the exterior wall. There are no other problems on the wall or in the room in question.
So, my question is how do I go about fixing it in the most effective way given that my wife is 6 months pregnant and I wouldn't want to cause major disruption if possible.
Thanks so much for your help!
