Can you bring baby food pouches on a plane with Southwest Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing baby food pouches on Southwest Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring baby food pouches when traveling with a baby on Southwest. TSA allows baby food, formula, breast milk and juice in quantities greater than 3.4 oz for children. You should declare these items at the security checkpoint.

  • Declare at security: Tell the TSA officer you have baby food pouches; they will be screened separately (X‑ray or additional inspection).
  • No strict volume limit: Quantities should be reasonable for your trip, but they are exempt from the 3‑1‑1 liquid rule.
  • Packing: Keep pouches in an accessible spot or diaper bag so you can present them easily at the checkpoint.
  • Onboard use: You may feed your baby during taxi, takeoff and landing, which can help with ear pressure.
  • Warming: Flight attendants sometimes can provide hot water; warming is not guaranteed and may vary by aircraft and crew.

If you want extra reassurance, arrive early and ask Southwest customer service or gate agents about any carrier-specific guidance for traveling with infants.
