Flying with infant- Formula question?

What I was planning to do was since I use Playtex drop ins, was just to measure out the formula beforehand and then add the water when I am through security. Do I still need to declare the bottles if they are only the powder? And is this allowed?

Thank you!

Yeah, when going through security, just make sure all the bottles and formula are kept in the diaper bag...they will do a more in depth search of the diaper bag and look into it all making sure it's formula and making sure it's just water. I expected it to be worse than it really was. We did the same thing--just measured out the formula. We actually just bought a bottle of water on the plane so we didn't have to deal with security for the water too.

If you have the powder milk they will allow you to bring water through security you just have to show them the powder. Also if that formula makes a liquid form it makes the trip alot easier. I fly often with my 6 month old and its a lifesaver.

We flew with my son a couple of months ago. I filled the Platex drop-in bottles with water and brought a can of his formula. The security will test your water and maybe formula. Once on the plane I just had to drop in a couple of scoops of formula and shake.

this is why I breastfeed, so much easier no declarations or powders needed I just have to wipe out a girl or two.
