Can you bring baby formula powder on a plane with Delta Air Lines when traveling with a baby?
Bringing baby formula powder on Delta
Yes — you can bring powdered baby formula in your carry-on when flying Delta. U.S. security rules treat baby formula, breast milk, and baby food as exceptions to the 3.4 oz/100 ml liquid rule, but you should follow these steps:
- Declare it at security — tell the TSA officer you have formula or breast milk before screening.
- Be prepared for extra screening — items may be X‑rayed and subject to additional inspection or testing; powders over about 12 oz (350 mL) can require extra checks and sometimes must be placed in checked baggage if they can’t be cleared.
- Pack measured servings — bring pre-measured scoops or pre-made bottles if helpful for feeding during travel.
- Onboard needs — flight attendants can usually provide hot water for mixing, but it’s not guaranteed; plan accordingly.
- International travel — airport security rules vary by country, so check the departure/arrival security guidance before you fly.
If you’re unsure at the airport, ask a TSA officer or Delta agent — they’ll help you through the screening process.
