Update: a new rule effective August 4, 2007 does away with the limits on the amount of breast milk a mom can carry on board a plane.

A little update from the TSA…
I got an email this morning from the Office of Public Affairs at the Transporation Security Administration. The PR person who wrote to me wanted to add that if you are traveling with your baby, you CAN bring ice through the security checkpoint to cool the formula or breast milk you might be bringing on board. The ice exemption also applies to medications that need to be cooled.



What if you are not traveling with your baby? I am getting ready to go on a trip this weekend. Will I be able to take my pump on the plane? Can I bring home the milk I pump while I am away?
