Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with Etihad Airways when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on Etihad

 

Yes — you can bring pumped breast milk on Etihad when traveling with a baby. Bring it in your carry‑on and be prepared to declare it at security. Typical airport security rules allow breast milk and baby food in amounts greater than the usual 100 ml restriction when travelling with an infant.

  • Declare at security: tell the screening officer and present the milk separately for inspection.
  • Screening: containers may be X‑rayed or hand‑inspected; officers might ask to open a seal.
  • Cooling: frozen milk and ice packs are permitted but will be screened; label containers and keep them chilled in a cooler bag.
  • Breast pump: allowed in hand luggage; carry batteries/spare lithium cells in the cabin (not checked).
  • Onboard help: cabin crew can assist but don’t use microwave to warm milk; test temperature before feeding.

For international or transit rules, check the airports you travel through and contact Etihad if you need special assistance.
