Our 19 month old still gets bounced to sleep on a large yoga ball. It takes us 4-5 minutes of bouncing and then he typically transfers to his floor bed with no issues.

I get worried that asking a babysitter to bounce him to sleep is too much. Any sitters who can weigh in? Any out there who are asked to this and don’t mind? Any who hate it and maybe wouldn’t babysit that kiddo again?

We’ve had 2 babysitters ever (other than my mom) and they weren’t able to get him to stay asleep on the transfer. They let us know and we just came home early, no problem. But since then the same two sitters are always unavailable when we ask, which could be totally valid since we don’t inquire often. But my paranoid brain worries it’s the bouncing. I’ll add: they both said he’s not difficult or crying/upset when he doesn’t stay asleep- he’s just stoked wants to hang, read stories, etc.

ETA: thanks so much for all the input. Sounds like it really depends on the person, which makes sense. Based on some great advice from a few folks, we’ll make sure to let them know ahead of time in case it is a deal breaker and also encourage them to try whatever method they’d like. :)

I passed my first kidney stone. I went to the urologist after and they tested the stone and said my kidney was pretty inflamed but didn’t see any other stones. He said we should schedule a follow up ultrasound to make sure the inflammation goes away.

Said we should schedule in 2 weeks but the first appt was for 6 weeks later. Then, it was canceled and they’re trying to reschedule for another 4 weeks later.

How important is this ultrasound? Everything feels fine.
