Can you bring a bottle warmer on a plane with Turkish Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bottle warmer on Turkish Airlines — can I bring one?

 

Short answer: Yes, in most cases you can bring a bottle warmer when flying with a baby, but how you carry and use it depends on the type.

• Non‑electric/chemical warmers: Disposable heat packs or insulated warmers are normally allowed in carry‑on and checked baggage. They go through security like other items.
• Electric warmers (plug-in): These are usually allowed in carry‑on. If the warmer has a removable lithium battery or is a power bank style, the battery must follow aviation rules: small lithium‑ion batteries (up to 100 Wh) are permitted in the cabin; batteries between 100–160 Wh need airline approval. Power banks are not allowed in checked baggage and must be carried in the cabin.
• Onboard use: Using an electric warmer during flight may be restricted — always ask the cabin crew. Crew commonly provide hot water to warm a bottle, which is the simplest option.
• Security screening: If you bring formula, expressed milk, or baby food, declare them at security; these may be screened separately and are exempt from the 100 ml liquid rule when for infants.
• Checked baggage warning: Avoid putting lithium batteries or power‑bank style warmers in checked luggage — most airlines and aviation rules prohibit that for safety.

Practical tip: Before you travel, check your warmer’s battery rating (Wh) and call Turkish Airlines or your departure airport if you want confirmation. Arrive a little earlier at security when you have baby items.
