What about EBM on flights?
I'm flying soon and I'd like to take some EBM in a bottle for DS for
the flight. They are confiscating liquids. Not sure what to do about this...as I'd like not to have to DUMP my milk if I bring it. Anyone know? Thanks. maureen |

Thanks. maureen http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5635098 NPR : What the Air-Traffic Alert Means for Passengers The only exceptions are baby formula, liquid prescription medicines (the name on the bottle must match the name on your ticket), and essential over-the-counter liquid medications, which must be presented for inspection at the checkpoint. -Karen- |

Maureen, this seems like a *very* good reason to nurse on the flight. I suspect the current (as of today!) rules will be an extra hassle for parents who need to bring liquid formula for their babies. I heard that security personnel will expect to witness the baby drinking from the bottle before they let the bottle on the flight. I wouldn't want to mess with trying to explain EBM, although your DS could drink from his bottle on command, I guess. Is there a reason you can't nurse on the flight? -Patty, mom of 1+2 |

What about EBM on flights?
Well, I had a daughter who couldn't nurse, so yes, I had EBM and a breast
pump, on all my flights with her, and in fact, still brought the pump with me on our most recent trip at 18 months. I never had any trouble with EBM on the plane, although I didn't bring extra beyond what I'd need for the flight itself. If you've got a baby, they don't tend to question a couple of bottles of white liquid in an insulated bag with cold packs around them. And, I never have been hassled over the pump, either-it's considered medical equipment and isn't counted as a carry on. I believe I've done 8 round trips with Alli since she was born, on several different airlines. |

Normally it's not a problem, but today, with the red alert they are
questioning ALL liquids, and ALL electronic devices. But I did hear that EBM is OK. No problem Good luck! "Donna Metler" wrote in message ...

I believe I've done 8 round trips with Alli since she was born, on several different airlines. given no mention of concern for being able to pump on the flight etc. it seemed a reasonable assumption that the OP was not EPing, we know you and others are out there, but the post seemed to indicate it was a matter of convenience and wanting to avoid wastage than a matter of necessity. The current situation causes big problems for anything out of the ordinary, I would be very very surprised if you could take a cold pack on, for example and if you are flying out of the UK of BA to the UK there are massive restrictions, no electrical items at all, we're going to have a difficult time tomorrow, flying from Seattle to London on BA, we're not even going to be able to take a toy for Ada, at least we are allowed to take keys, which should keep her amused!
