Because airline child policies change — and parents shouldn’t have to hunt for answers.
Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with United Airlines when traveling with a baby?
Bringing pumped breast milk on United Airlines
Yes — you may bring pumped breast milk on United Airlines. Under TSA rules and United policy, breast milk, formula and juice for infants are allowed in quantities greater than 3.4 oz (100 mL).
- Declare it at the security checkpoint: tell the TSA officer you have breast milk to be screened.
- Screening: containers may be X‑rayed or inspected by hand; officers may need to open containers for inspection.
- Ice packs and frozen gel packs: allowed to keep milk cold; if partially frozen they may require additional screening.
- Breast pumps and batteries: allowed in carry‑on; spare lithium batteries should be in carry‑on, not checked baggage.
- Carry-on recommended: keep milk and pump with you rather than in checked baggage for safety and temperature control.
- Labeling and amount: label containers and bring a reasonable amount needed for your trip; TSA does not set a strict volume limit for infant needs.
If you have a connecting or international flight, check both airports’ security rules and contact United for any flight‑specific questions.
