Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on KLM

 

Yes, you can bring pumped breast milk when flying with KLM. Breast milk and baby food are exempt from the 100 ml liquid limit and are allowed in carry‑on for the infant's needs. Security screening may require you to declare the milk and allow additional checks such as X‑ray or manual inspection.

  • Pack bottles clearly labeled and kept in a separate bag for screening
  • Use insulated bags and frozen ice packs to keep milk cold; frozen packs that are partially melted may still be allowed
  • Bring enough for the journey including delays; "reasonable quantity" for the flight is expected
  • Carry your breast pump in hand luggage and keep spare batteries or battery packs in the cabin per aviation safety rules
  • Ask cabin crew if you need bottles warmed or help on board

Check airport security rules at your departure point and destination as procedures can vary, and arrive a little earlier to allow time for screening.
