Flying for the first time while nursing/pumping for my twins. What should I expect in terms of getting the milk through TSA? It's a day-trip, thank goodness!

Oh and if you have wipes in your bag just take them out and put them with your milk separate for security, they won’t have an issue with them but the big wet brick of them hidden inside a bag sometimes gets flagged.

Smart -- thank you!

They are usually good with screens for anything related to babies (milk, snacks, etc. in some cases they test the formula powder but not always)

I had a couple times where someone was confused but it never held me up more than a minute. Honestly the hardest part was always finding time and places to pump! Some airports do have nice pumping rooms or those mamapod things. Bring some sanitizing wipes cause you may not have easy ability to wash your hands or clean things up right away if you’re stuck with the mamapod and need to pump in the airport.

If you are taking frozen ice packs and milk they usually don’t check your bag at TSA. But they will pull your bag for unfrozen ice packs and milk. All they will do is open your bag and look at the contents. If the milk is over a certain amount they will run the bottles through their machine. But they can never open or discard anything! All the TSA agents I have encountered seems to know the proper procedure.

Super helpful. Thank you!

When I went through security I separated my milk cooler from the rest of my bags. Frozen milk will not get checked, refrigerated milk will need to run through their machine.

I had a mixture of bottles and storage bags. They made me open one of my storage bags and waved a wipe strip over it. There is no limit on how much milk you can bring. They only say a “reasonable amount.”
