WHO WE ARE

Cork Children’s Clinic was established by Frank and Rose Kelleher. Frank Kelleher is one of the best-known Paediatric Osteopaths in Ireland. Over the last 20 years, Frank and his wife Rose have helped over 18,000 families with some of the most common issues that can challenge babies and children.

We provides what every parent is looking for – information and reassurance. From digestive conditions in new-born babies to ear infections, glue ear or constipation in toddlers, we treat the most common issues affecting newborn babies and children and give parents information to help solve their little one’s distress.

Rose is our Clinic Manager. She was a General Nurse, a Midwife and a Practice Nurse and worked in the UK while Frank was doing his Osteopathy degree. Both of them have a great understanding of what parents go thru when their little one is experiencing difficulty. Their aim has always been, to give parents information and what’s going on and what they can do on a practical level to help their baby.

Working with babies and children was a very natural progression for us. We have 4 children ourselves, ranging from 29 years old down to 19 years old.

Cork Children’s Clinic clinic is designed with babies, children and their parents in mind and we have made the environment as child and parent friendly as possible. There is a lovely relaxed feeling here that has happened naturally. Our Baby Changing and Feeding Room is a little calm oasis and parents love it!

We are a Paediatric Osteopathic clinic specialising in the treatment of newborn babies and children..

TESTIMONIALS

We are very appreciative for those who have given reviews. It makes a great job even better to hear we are helping so many mums and babies! Thank you.

ANDREA –

I cannot recommend Frank enough.  I felt he was the only support there for my baby and I. He was accurate with every diagnoses , constantly offering support and advice. I dread to think what my baby would have gone through without him. Even if your baby is well I would still recommend a session.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Cannot thank Frank enough for his help. My baby went from puking 50+ times a day to less then 10 times now. He has such a lovely manner with babies and their parents.

VIVIENNE –

My daughter had her third and final treatment this morning and for the first time in her 3 months of life she went to bed peaceful and content. Thank you so much Frank for your help and advice and Rose for being so welcoming.

I cannot recommend Frank enough. He took one look at my baby girl and knew she had a lactose problem. Having been let down by doctors who thought I was crazy it was of great comfort that Frank was able to help my baby girl. After only two visits she is a much happier, healthier baby. She eats better sleeps better and is much more content in herself. I will always be thankful for what he has done.

As the darker evenings and mornings approach it might be time to look at your toddlers sleep, or lack of sleep. As the colder weather approaches it might be time to book back in for a check up. Paediatric osteopathy is such a great treatment for recurring ear infections and glue ear, and a check up ahead of the winter is a great way to help prevent any winter infections in children who are susceptible. Did you know that most cases of reflux are caused by 2 main issues? We cannot understate how valuable a newborn baby check-up is. Every week we see mums of a second baby returning for just a newborn check-up because they saw how helpful it was for their first baby. Having a newborn can be such a challenging time. Remember to be kind to yourself. And know too that you and baby are both learning new things every day. It's a process, give it time. You can’t spoil a newborn. If your newborn is crying, it’s because he needs your help. If you respond calmly and consistently, it helps your baby learn that the world is a safe and predictable place. You can book your appointment to see Frank or Sacha online! If your baby tilts or turns their head to one side they may need a little alignment to return to midline. Sometimes it’s obvious to see, sometimes you’ll notice the have difficulty breastfeeding on one side, sometimes you’ll notice a flat spot on their head. Rest assured that paediatric osteopathy is a wonderfully gentle treatment that can help these babies. #torticollis #tightneck #newbornbaby #flathead #corkcity #cork #kerry #waterford #tipperary #limerick We LOVE to see Mums booking themselves in for a check up alongside their baby. It's coming up to that time of year again when the weather changes and the schools return. If your child has had ear infections, it might be worth booking them in for a seasonal check up. And if your child does get recurring ear infections, paediatric osteopathy is a wonderfully gentle treatment that can help both this issue and glue ear. Get in touch if you would like more information. Did you know you can book a newborn check up with Frank and Sacha online? See the link in our bio. And of course it's never too early to be prepared and have your appointment booked well in advance of your baby's arrival! 🤍🤍🤍 Double tap if you agree. #newbornbaby #becommingamum What can stop your little one from sleeping through the night? Did you know that children diagnosed with an ear infection have almost double the risk of recurring infections if they use a soother. Sucking on a soother increases the negative pressure in the Euchastian tube and this draws mucus into the tube. The good news is that paediatric osteopathy is a wonderfully gentle treatment to help children with recurring ear infections and glue ear. Get in touch for more information or to book an appointment. #earinfections #glueear #soothers #paediatricosteopathy #corkchildrensclinic #corkcity Because tummy time relieves pressure from the back of a baby’s head, it is an excellent way to prevent and treat head flattening.
