Can you bring breast milk on a plane with Lufthansa when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing breast milk on a Lufthansa flight

 

Yes. Breast milk and baby formula are allowed in carry‑on baggage even if the amount exceeds the usual 100 ml liquid limit. At security you should declare the milk so it can be screened separately. Screening may include X‑ray or a hand inspection; you can request an alternative/private inspection if you prefer.

  • Carry milk in the cabin rather than checked baggage when possible (better temperature control and accessibility).
  • Ice packs or frozen gel packs are allowed to keep milk chilled; they will be screened separately and may be partially thawed.
  • Label bottles or containers and keep them together so security staff can inspect quickly.
  • Bring extra milk and spare feeding equipment in case of delays.

Note: Airport security procedures vary by country and airport. Also check any destination customs or import restrictions for dairy products before travel.
