Missed a interview for a job

So I had a car accident last month and was told I have a concussion
So I tend to forget many things now
My interview was at 10 am and I say it under my calendar as 1 pm
So do I explain I have a concussion and want to reschedule this interview?

Yes I would reach out immediately and tell them exactly what happened. Ask to reschedule

Just be honest and tell them what happened. If they are a decent place to with fire they will understand.

What have you got to lose? Call them and explain. Even if they aren’t able to reschedule, you’ll be able to reapply for another job within the same company if one comes up without them thinking that you didn’t bother previously.

Worst case - they can’t reschedule and you’ve lost nothing
Best case - they reschedule and you’ve gained another opportunity to interview

You miss 💯 of the shots you never take. If you dont call… you dont get the job….. if you do call…. there is a 50% shot you will/wont. If u say you have a concussion however they may indirectly see that as potential to not do the job. So dont take it personal if they say no u missed the interview.

Don’t mention the concussion, which could come across as an excuse and signal ongoing judgement issues.

Frame it as a scheduling/calendar error and take accountability, that way it signals ownership of mistakes and a one-time lapse in attention to detail.

Like I emailed and do I wait like a two days and reach back out

Was the nursery carer wrong for saying this?

My baby is starting nursery (she’s 13 months). Today was her first settling in hour. My baby has CMPA and we are working on introducing dairy to her with a dietician. For now she can’t have cows milk. She’s still breastfed. They said she can have oatmilk with breakfast and I’m happy with this as we do this at home too. However they also offer them milk to drink and I said I’m happy to provide breastmilk. The manager emailed me about it earlier and said it’s fine as long as it’s clearly labeled. The nursery worker seemed not keen and said she can drink oat milk and she can have breastmilk at home. Is it just me or was that comment wrong?

When did you stop taking the buggy on days out?

At what age

Early walking and head bumps

My son is 9.5 months has been crawling for the last few days and is also loving pulling up on furniture and he keeps falling into furniture he’s pulled up on. Or he falls back and bumps his head that way. It’s been 4 days and he’s had a head bump a day already and I’m with him each time just don’t catch him in time or he goes another direction. Is this just something that I just accept and try to reduce the risk as much as possible or are there other options?

Car seat question

I am 32 weeks pregnant and prepping hospital bags, I have written on my list don't forget the carseat! Which has made me think about the fact the carseat I have is just a buckle in one, not an isofix. It's got me wondering, how will the hospital go about it and is it something they'll be bothered by?
I do not drive nor does my partner so we didn't see the point of buying an isofix fancy car seat but I'm not sure how the hospital deals with them. It's fully safety tested and it's an i-size, R129 certified carseat and came as part of a travel system.
I suppose my question is will the hospital have a problem sending me home with my baby in that carseat?
Very random and probably a very stupid question but I'm now sat here over thinking this 😂😅
Picture for reference :)

Infant in front seat?

Looking for advice, I have to drive 2 hours with just me and my infant and I’m worried if he gets unsettled in back of car that I won’t be able to tend to him but also anxious of putting him in front seat. Has anyone ever travelled with infant in front seat and has any advice on the subject? TIA ❤️

Introducing a bottle to breastfed baby - how much milk to give?

My baby is 5 weeks old and is exclusively breastfed. She latches well and is gaining weight well so feel like we've established breastfeeding. I'd like to start introducing a bottle of expressed breastmilk once a day so that my husband can do one feed in the evening so that I can get a longer stretch of sleep to get me through the night. I've got a hakka to catch milk from the other breast while feeding during the day but have no idea how much milk my baby will need for one feed! How much expressed milk should I be giving roughly? Also any tips about introducing a bottle?
