Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on Alaska Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring pumped breast milk on Alaska Airlines when traveling with an infant. Breast milk (and formula) is exempt from the 3.4 oz liquid limit, but you must declare it at the TSA/security checkpoint for inspection.

  • Carry it in your carry-on so you can access it and keep it properly stored.
  • Tell the TSA officer that you have breast milk when you reach security; items may be screened by X‑ray or hand inspection.
  • Ice packs and coolers are allowed to keep milk cold; frozen items that are solid usually pass through, but thawed/partially melted items may be inspected.
  • Bottles, pumped milk containers and pump parts are permitted; pack extra storage bags and wipes.
  • International travel: check arrival-country rules for carrying food/fluids for infants.

Stay calm and let officers know you’re traveling with an infant — they’re used to assisting families.
