Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with Delta Air Lines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on Delta Air Lines

 

Yes — you may bring pumped breast milk in carry‑on when flying with Delta. TSA allows breast milk and other infant liquids even if they exceed the usual 3.4 oz/100 ml limit; there is no federal quantity limit for medically necessary liquids. At security you should declare the breast milk for separate screening.

  • Screening: Containers may be X‑rayed or inspected by hand. If you prefer no X‑ray, request an alternative inspection.
  • Storage: Coolers and ice packs are allowed; frozen packs are OK and partially melted packs may be screened.
  • Breast pumps: You can carry pumps and accessories in cabin. Battery packs or spare batteries should be carried in carry‑on per FAA rules.
  • Onboard: Cabin refrigeration is not guaranteed; bring appropriate insulated bags and extras.
  • Preboarding: Delta offers family preboarding — ask the gate agent if you need extra time.
