Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

DS and I are flying on Wednesday.

He is on Nestle Good Start which makes nursers in 3 oz bottles, he currently eats 6ozs. Knowing the current restrictions on liquids, and even though Baby Formula IS excluded from the restrictions, should I

A) Take 3oz nursers for on the plane

OR

B) Just take powder

TIA!

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I have carried RTF on planes a few times, but I always had some powder as a back up. If you are travelling with a baby they might cut you some slack. I travelled with Juice boxes of formula (which you can't get in the states, but you can over here) and I had no problem. But I would bring some powder and ask the plane staff for a bottle of water, or buy a bottle of water at a shop once you go through the security.

If RTF is okay to bring on the plane. I would bring that. Seems a whole lot easier.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

Just take the powder- it is so much easier. You just need to buy a bottle of water when you get in the terminal and you are all set.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I voted for powder, much easier IMO. That's what we brought and had no issues.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I flew this past weekend. I had four 7 ounce bottles in a cooler bag each way and security didnt say a thing!

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

When I flew at the end of June, I had 2 oz RTF bottles in my diaper bag, along with an 8oz can of RTF in my bag...I took them out when I put my stuff on the security belt and nobody said anything about the liquid formula.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I flew last month and coming home I carried a big can of formula in a ziplock bag and no one said anything to me.

I would think it would be a pita to bring double the amount of 3oz nursettes, you'd have to either put 2 into a bigger bottle or interupt feeding him to give him a new a bottle.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I took the powder and I bought a hot cup of water (tea water i asked for) and used that for DD bottle.. I used half of the hot and half bottle H2o and it was perfect...

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I say take powder. They will give you bottled water on the plane.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

i flew out of jfk in july and had absolutely no problems with bring more than 3 oz of formula, meds and water. as long as you are traveling with a baby you should be fine. also, i printed out the regs and brought them with me in case anyone said differently.

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I agree with bringing whatever is most convenient for you. I didn't vote because I'm not sure what you ordinarily use, but that's what I would bring. I've never had a problem bringing formula (and regular milk now) on the plane for DD. It's probably not a bad idea to print the regulations just in case you get a "Rambo" type checking your stuff like I did one time (but he still never questioned the milk).

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

I would think on the plane the RTF would be easier....

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??

Thanks ladies!! We leave tomorrow and I'm gettin nervous on how he'll be on the plane!!

I think I will bring prepared RTF bottles and powder, JIC!!

Also, printed out the regulations JIC!!

Thanks!!

Re: Question re flying and formula---What would you do??
