Can you bring baby medicine on a plane with Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing baby medicine on Alaska Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring baby medicine on board when traveling with an infant on Alaska Airlines. Follow TSA rules and Alaska’s guidance for a smooth checkpoint and flight:

  • Carry-on preferred: Keep all medicines with you in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
  • Liquid medicines: Prescription and over-the-counter liquid meds are allowed in amounts greater than 3.4 oz. Declare them to the TSA officer at screening.
  • Labeling and documentation: Keep medicines in original containers or bring a prescription or doctor’s note when possible to help verification.
  • Screening process: Be prepared for additional screening (visual inspection, testing/swab). Inform security you have baby meds before screening.
  • Cooling items: Ice packs and frozen gel packs are allowed; if thawed or partially melted they may require extra screening.
  • Onboard care: Bring enough medication for the trip plus extra for delays. Flight attendants can assist with storage or warming but are not medical providers — keep dosing supplies with you.
  • International travel: Check destination rules and customs for bringing medicines across borders.
