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.

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.

Bring it just don't place in bottle. and then see how HOME LAND SECURITY
likes it.

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?

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!

they are allowing baby formula providing you taste it, EBM should be the
same, but I do wonder why you would go to the fuss of a bottle and keeping
it cool etc. when you could just breastfeed

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!

At the moment in the UK, you can take baby milk on the flight, so long
as you're willing to taste test it at check-in

HTH, have a safe journey
