Can you bring a diaper bag on a plane with Lufthansa when traveling with a baby?

 

Can I bring a diaper bag on a Lufthansa flight?

 

Yes — Lufthansa allows a diaper bag when traveling with a baby. A diaper bag is normally treated as an additional small carry-on/personal item for the child. Baby food, formula, breast milk and medications are permitted even if they exceed the usual 100 ml liquid limit, but you must declare them at security for inspection. Strollers and child seats are typically accepted and can often be gate‑checked or checked free of charge, though exact handling can vary by route and fare.

  • Pack essentials within easy reach: diapers, wipes, change of clothes, plastic bags for soiled items, and a small blanket.
  • Keep feeds accessible: present breast milk, formula and baby food separately at security and tell staff you have them.
  • Label items: put your name and contact on larger items like strollers or car seats for easy identification.
  • Arrive early: gives time to check/ gate‑check bulky baby equipment and handle security checks calmly.
  • Confirm before travel: allowances and procedures can vary by route and aircraft — contact Lufthansa or your booking reference for the precise rules for your flight.

If you tell me your flight route or whether the baby has their own seat, I can give more specific guidance.
