Yes, you can bring breast milk on a plane!
TSA Regulations:
- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows you to bring breast milk through airport security checkpoints in reasonable quantities for your baby.
- You do not need to declare it, but you may be asked to separate it from your carry-on bag for screening.
Tips for Traveling with Breast Milk:
- Label clearly: Label your breast milk containers with your name and your baby's name.
- Keep it cool: Breast milk can be transported in a cooler bag with ice packs or frozen gel packs.
- Consider pre-chilled bottles: If you are traveling for a longer period, you may want to bring pre-chilled bottles.
- Check airline policies: Some airlines have specific policies regarding breast milk, so it's always a good idea to check with your airline before your flight.
Additional Considerations:
- Pumping at the airport: If you need to pump at the airport, you can ask for a private room or use a lactation room.
- Breast milk in checked bags: While breast milk is generally allowed in carry-on bags, some airlines may allow it in checked bags as well.
Remember, it's always best to check with the TSA and your airline for the most up-to-date information on their policies.
