“I have used Qiara infant drops since my baby girl was a newborn to help her reflux and found it improved her digestion. Now it’s part of our daily routine after learning how lactobacillus fermentum is proven to boost a baby’s immune system and reduce gastrointestinal and upper respiratory infections - I wish more parents knew this! I’d highly recommend Qiara for parents researching the ideal probiotic drops for their baby. I would say a baby’s health can only benefit from a probiotic derived from breastmilk that’s backed by evidence.”
Hi Monica, we'd love to get in touch with you to learn more about your experience with Qiara Infant Drops and have our pharmacist talk to you. I note that you also left a review about Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding so wondering if you are taking Qiara yourself and giving drops to your baby as well? We always recommend if a mum is exclusively breastfeeding that she takes Qiara Pregnancy & Breastfeeding herself as bub will benefit at every feed and direct dosing bub in this instance is in most instances not required in addition. We will be in touch. Helen (CEO)
“My 8 month old daughter suffers from moderate to severe eczema and we decided to trial a course of probiotics as part of her overall management.
I found several research papers supporting the use of single strain probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus fermentum, in reducing the severity and frequency of eczema flare up’s in infants.
However, aside from from Qiara, I couldn’t find any other Australian made products containing a high enough CFU and single strain bacteria as recommended in the literature.
I’m not sure if it’s too soon to say for sure, but since starting the infant probiotic a few weeks ago, my daughter’s eczema flare up has completely resolved. She is also opening her bowels more frequently and seems very settled in general. I know this product isn’t marketed for eczema but I’m surprised at the significant difference it has made in such a short space of time.
Highly recommend to those looking for a high quality probiotic to combat eczema.
Also recommend reading this study for those wanting to dig a little deeper:

“I purchased this for my then 2 month old as he was on antibiotics from Day 0, and is mixed formula & breast fed. After using it for a couple of weeks, we then stopped using it for a few weeks. When we went to open it again, we found that the liquid crystallised in the bottle and dropper to the point where we were unable to extract any out. There was at least 80% left in the bottle. We ended up throwing out the rest of it. Incredibly disappointed and complete waste of money. :(”
