Experts at spotting chickenpox and fluent in tears and tantrums, paediatricians are doctors who specialise in treating children. All the way from newborns to teenagers, they take care of their young patients while providing reassurance and advice to their worried parents.
Fun fact
Becoming a parent changes us for sure... but perhaps even more than you’d think! According to research in the Nature Reviews Immunology journal, the arrival of a baby profoundly changes the immune systems of new parents to make them more similar. In couples who live together and have a child, their immune systems showed 50% less variation than in other couples! The reason? Lack of sleep, stress and all the interesting smells that go with having a new baby around... oh, and love, of course!
