Baby Food and Milk on a Plane - Is the 100 ml Limit Applied?
Baby food and milk can be exempt from liquid limits when needed during the journey. Check screening rules and what security may ask for.
Short answer
Baby food and milk needed during the journey can exceed the standard 100 ml limit. Pack them so they can be presented separately for screening if requested.
Carry-on baggage
Solid medicines are generally allowed in the cabin. Essential liquid medicines can be exempt from the standard 100 ml rule when needed during the journey.
Checked baggage
Medicines can generally also travel in checked baggage, but anything you may need during the journey is safer to keep with you.
Airport security
For liquid medication or medical equipment, security may ask for additional screening or evidence that the item is medically necessary.
Check your departure airport
General rules are not always enough. Liquid limits and screening procedures can differ by airport, so check the airport you are actually flying from.
