Answer 1

I have just checked the flying rules in relation to liquids and this is what BA say:

Carriage of Liquids in hand baggage

Summary
What are the rules regarding the carriage of liquids on a flight?



More information
European Union Liquid Policy
The EU rules on liquids apply to all air passengers travelling from any EU airport, including UK airports, as well those travelling from Albania, Kosovo, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland regardless of their destination. The changes became effective from November 6, 2006.
Limited quantities of liquids, gels or pastes must be held in individual containers not exceeding 100ml (approximately 3.5 fl. oz).
This may include:
· Shampoo
· Creams
· Hair gel, hair spay
· Suntan lotions
· Toothpaste
· Liquid or aerosol deodorants
· Perfumes
· Cosmetics such as mascara and lip gloss
· Water and other drinks, soups and syrups
· Other items of similar consistency

The containers must be carried in a separate clear plastic, zip-top or re-sealable bag that does not exceed 20 cm x 20cm (8 inches x 8 inches) or equivalent to one litre capacity.

Items must fit in the bag comfortably and the bag must be completely closed.

At the airport security search, the plastic bag must be removed from the cabin bag and x-ray screened separately.

Which countries are in the EU?
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom

In addition, air passengers travelling from airports in Albania, Kosovo, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland should comply with the new liquids policy.

Why does the new policy affect all EU countries and Albania, Kosovo, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland?
The European Union agreed a new policy that brings into line all EU countries. Some non-EU countries such as Albania, Kosovo, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland have also agreed to implement the same policy.
The change in policy protects air travellers against the current security threat.
Greater consistency will help customers understand more easily what they can and can't take onboard flights with them in the future.

Liquid Policy from USA and Canada
The Transportation Security Administration in the USA and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority relaxed the restrictions in September 2006 on the carriage of liquids through airport security searches on flights departing airports in the USA and Canada.

Customers may take with them in their cabin bag limited quantities of liquids, gels and aerosols, including travel-size toiletries such as shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, toothpaste, hair gel and hair spray.
Containers holding liquids must not exceed three American ounces or 90ml.
Liquid containers must be carried in a separate clear plastic zip-top bag that does not exceed 20 cm x 20 cm or 8 inches x 8 inches or quart size.
Items must fit in the bag comfortably and the bag must be completely closed.
At the security search, the plastic bag must be removed from the cabin bag and x-ray screened separately.
Customers carrying liquids may be subject to secondary searches before boarding.

Does the bag have to be a particular type?
You may use any kind of bag provided that it is:
· Clear plastic
· No bigger than 20 cm x 20 cm (8 inches x 8 inches) or equivalent to one litre capacity
· A zip-top or re-sealable
· All liquid containers should fit comfortably in the bag
· You should be able to close the bag completely

Can I use a larger bottle or container if the quantity of liquid does not exceed the permitted quantity?
No. The container must not exceed the permitted size (ie. 100ml (3.5 fl.oz) for customers departing an EU airport or 90 ml (3 fl. oz) for customers departing a USA or Canadian airport.

Are there restrictions on certain liquids, gels or pastes?
No. You may take liquids previously allowed, including toiletries and cosmetics such as shampoo, toothpaste, suntan lotion, liquid or aerosol deodorants, hair spray and hair gel, mascara and lip gloss.

Do solid cosmetics and toiletries such as lipstick or stick deodorant need to go in the clear plastic bag?
No. Non-liquid based cosmetics or toiletries may be packed normally in your cabin bag.

Can I take more than one clear plastic bag with me?
No. Any containers holding liquids, gels or pastes must fit comfortably into one clear plastic bag no bigger than 20cm x 20 cm (8 inches x 8 inches) or equivalent to one litre capacity.

Probably best to check with your own airline though.

Answer 2

I just came back from a trip to the Phillippines with my 6-month-old, so I know what you're about to go through.
What I did was to take formula powder and Gerber's plastic containers with fruit. No-one took that away, but I'm very doubtful about glass jars. Just remember you need a quart-sized zip-lock bag for all your baby's meds, diaper creams etc. As long as you keep them in that plastic bag no-one's gonna take it. I had a lot of good luck too, but I agree in calling your travel agent or air-line if you have specific request.

Answer 3

Presumably you're worried about the new security measures for plane travel?
In most cases, Customs are restricting the size of containers of liquids and gels carried on aircraft as handbaggage, to containers of max. 100ml.

However, baby milk can be carried in larger amounts -- here's the facts from the Q&A section on family travel from the BAA (the folk in charge of UK airports).

Q: Can I take milk powder with me to make up a bottle of milk on the plane?
A: Yes, you can carry milk powder.

Q: What about a bottle of prepared milk does it need to be a maximum of 100ml?
A: No, nor does it have to fit in the re-sealable bag. However, the amount must be sufficient for your trip only. You may be asked to taste baby milk and food by a security officer. There are no limits on powder formula and water is available in shops after security and airlines can provide water during the flight.

Answer 4

Yes - although the limit on liquids is like three ounces or something ridiculous, they allow powdered formula with water to mix it, or an already mixed up bottle. Not sure on the jars of food. If you ask me, all somebody has to do now is build a bomb out of baby formula. sheesh. What will it be next?

Answer 5

Baby milk yes you can take it. Here is the list...
Baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling;
All prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including KY jelly, eye drops, and saline solution for medical purposes;
Liquids including water, juice, or liquid nutrition or gels for passengers with a disability or medical condition;
Life-support and life-sustaining liquids such as bone marrow, blood products, and transplant organs;
Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; and,
Gels or frozen liquids needed to cool disability or medically related items used by persons with disabilities or medical condition.

Baby food you can't carry on your carry on, but on the plane in your other bag, yes.
