One day after he turned one month old, Gabriel went to the pediatrician for the first time. All went fine, even though Gabriel does not like to be naked at all, so he screamed all the way through the exam.
It turns out that he has grow very well:
Length: 55.5 cm (+4.5 cm)
Weight: 4.605 kg (+1.385 kg)
Head: 38.4 cm (+4.4 cm)
The pediatrician was very nice. She gave us a lot of information, and then patiently answered all our questions. I learned, for example, that vaccination for tuberculosis has been stopped, because it was not providing 100% protection, and made people always test positive for tuberculosis, whether they had it or not. Thus, many people have undergone unnecessary treatment (for example, when you want to get a green card, you are very likely going to have to take tuberculosis medication for 6 months most often simply because you have been vaccinated).
