Child Health Information Classes

Would you like to be more confident managing your children's health at home? Would you like to know more about the symptoms children experience? As local parents ourselves we understand how much conflicting & often confusing health information is out there for families.

Adam is a children’s doctor who has worked in A&Es & paediatric units around London over the last decade, and sees many parents who feel unsure about what's fact or opinion.

Anna is a doula working with new parents, and is constantly amazed at how little information we are given when sent home to look after little humans!

Together we discuss some of the big topics in paediatric medicine, learning through evidence & research why & how things happen in children's bodies. We keep it informative & as jargon free as possible to equip & empower you in a practical way. We'll help you understand what symptoms mean, how to manage them at home and when to seek a medical opinion. If you’re expecting your first, you're a new parent, or have older children - this class is for you!

What we cover:

  • Fevers - why they happen, when to worry, how to treat
  • Coughs and colds
  • Rashes - what is worrying, what looks bad but is fine, and why
  • Respiratory conditions - asthma, croup, wheeze etc.
  • Vomiting and sickness - how to manage at home and when to be concerned
  • Choking, gagging, and what to do
  • Cuts, bruises, head injuries - how to treat and when to get medical support
  • Plenty more, with plenty of time for questions and clarifications from a paediatrician!

New dates for this course have not been scheduled yet, but please contact Anna using the form below if you are interested.

The latest piece from local artist @jencableart (Hothouse Flower) to beautifully adorn the wall of Moon. Hothouse flowers' colours may be brilliant and their petals flawless, yet their beauty is fragile—remove them from the tightly controlled environment of the greenhouse, and they wither. Every aspect of their existence depends on external care. They embody luxury, thriving in isolation from the harsher realities of wind, rain, and change.   In contrast, wild flowers can emerge anywhere, on rocky soil, under shifting skies, and on wind swept plains (much like the Heath at the moment😉).  Their blossoms endure cold snaps, nibbles from local insects, and sudden brushes with curious dogs.  Though their stems may bend and their petals may bear marks of struggle, these are marks of endurance, not weakness. True vitality doesn’t depend on shelter from difficulty but on balance with the environment, responding flexibly to what life provides. Where the hot house flower dazzles briefly, natural health endures. One fades with the loss of its careful protection; the other thrives precisely because it has learned to live and bloom in the open air.   So this Easter break, take a moment to step onto the Heath or Waterlow Park and enjoy the daffodils nodding gently in the breeze and the last of the crocuses pushing through. Take a minute to enjoy the crisp air, flashes of green, new life, and the distant rustle of trees whilst you enjoy a quiet moment of renewal and connection with the season.

Happy Mother's Day! 💛 We’re sharing something very close to our hearts today. We're fundraising to keep the doors of our local New Mama & Parent Drop-In open for the next three months — and we need the community's help. Since June 2024, Moon Community Health's free Drop-In has welcomed over 500 local parents and babies. Every session brings together six health specialists under one roof — breastfeeding support, women's health physio, sleep consultancy, emotional health, baby-wearing, weaning and more. No appointment. No waiting list. No cost. Support that would cost hundreds of pounds privately — free to every family that needs it. 💙 We're hoping to raise £2,100 to fund the next three sessions (April–June 2026). Each session costs £700 to run and we have no ongoing government funding — so every pound genuinely makes a difference. If you can spare anything at all, please donate via the link in our bio to our Crowdfunding page. And if you can't donate right now, simply sharing this with someone who might is just as valuable. Thank you so much. 🙏 🔗 Donate via link in bio.
