Because airline child policies change — and parents shouldn’t have to hunt for answers.

Yes — you can bring baby food pouches when travelling with a baby on Virgin Atlantic. Keep these practical points in mind:

Carry-on is best: Pack pouches in your hand luggage so you can feed the baby during the journey.
Security screening: Baby food (including pouches), formula and breast milk are generally exempt from the 100 ml / 3-1-1 liquid limit at security. Declare them at the checkpoint and present them separately for inspection.
Reasonable quantity: Bring a reasonable amount for the trip and any delays — security officers judge what’s reasonable for the flight duration.
Ice packs and coolers: Ice packs or frozen gel packs are allowed if frozen solid when screened; if thawed they may be treated as liquids but are usually permitted for baby food.
On board: You can feed the baby on the aircraft; cabin crew can warm food if they have facilities, but carrying your own insulated container is safer.
Customs rules: For international arrivals check the destination’s rules — some countries restrict bringing fresh food across borders.
