Taking Baby Formula through airport security?
« on: August 26, 2007, 19:59:20 pm »
My DS is on Cow and Gate Comort 1 which can only be bought in powder but we are travelling abroad in 3 weeks and im going to make up 2 bottles for the flight and store in a cool bag but i also want to take some powder and spare bottles incase we get delayed? but im not sure if i will be allowed through airport security with the powder, i know you can only take 100ml in each bottle and sometimes they ask you to taste it in front of them but what about the formula? Ive even phoned Boots at the airport which is located after the security and they dont stock cow and gate! Would be so much easier if i could just buy ready made cartons!

Anyone else had this problem!

Many Thank  :)

In the US, it is not an issue as long as you have an infant/child with you.  ???

Hi Vbeck

My DD was on Comfort formula and when we flew with her it wasn't an issue at all - you do have to taste it ( :-X :-X) but they let me take as much as I needed as it was for the baby.  Good luck.
