TSA is also modifying the rules associated with carrying breast milk through security checkpoints. Mothers flying with, and now without, their child will be permitted to bring breast milk in quantities greater than three ounces as long as it is declared for inspection at the security checkpoint.

Breast milk is in the same category as liquid medications.

When carrying formula, breast milk, or juice through the checkpoint, they will be inspected, however, you or your baby or toddler will not be asked to test or taste breast milk, formula, or juice. Our Security Officers may
test liquid exemptions (exempt items more than 3 ounces) for explosives.

When traveling with a child, in the absence of suspicious activity or items, greater than 3 ounces of baby formula, breast milk, or juice are permitted through the security checkpoint in reasonable quantities for the duration of your itinerary, if you perform the following:

1. Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag.
2. Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint.
3. Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.
You are encouraged to travel with only as much formula, breast milk, or juice in your carry-on needed to reach your destination.

You are allowed to bring gel or liquid-filled teethers, canned, jarred, or processed baby food in your carry-on baggage and aboard your plane.

From TSA.gov:
"Medications, baby formula and food, breast milk, and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint."

Formula and baby food are allowed, as well as any prescription medications. Any other liquids, gels or aerosols are only allowed in 3 oz containers if you are going to carry them on. If you check your bags you can bring more than 3 oz. The TSA website (www.tsa.gov) will give you all the details you need to know about what you can and cannot bring.

Depends on what week your flying.
The airport rules are a joke IMHO.
But the TSA thinks they're keeping us "safe"
They are not.
Actually they're contributing to crazy ppl coming up with new ways to bring on something that is is "acceptable"on board.
But here's the link to the TSA website that gives you the ban/unbanned list.

Check out the website for the airline and they will have specifics. Formula is the only thing you can bring more than 2 ozs of!!!!

I think they limit you to how much you can take on, but we never had a problem. Call TSA or go to their website.

well the rule is that you are only allowed to bring things in 3 oz. bottles
but you can just bring the formula and get the water when on the aircraft from a flight attendent, which im sure they would give you.
