To want to take formula on a plane?

[Abneyandteal19]

Can anyone help? Taking DC 3 months old on a plane, baby is FF - only going from Edinburgh to London for 24ish hours for a funeral, no check in bag at airport (can pay extra if it's really necessary)

So can I take bottles of pre mixed formula to last 24 hrs in carry on luggage?? Will security make me open them all? Therefore no use as they can only be open for 1 hour out of fridge? Would be fine for actual flight but not beyond?

Can you take powdered formula? Was worried this might look 'dodgy' on x ray machines etc??

Also can you buy pre mix formula once you are airside??

Never flown with baby before- in case you couldn't tell!!!

Please tell me all I need to know!

The cabin crew will probably be helpful as may other passengers, but I would strongly recommend you take a sling to put baby in, leaves your hands free to collapse pram, plus then you can go to toilet on plane with baby in sling. (You normally have to collapse pram at gate where there may not be people to help).

We have been asked to taste one of the bottles of pre made formula before then they have let us take the rest. But you will be able to get the pre made bottles at Superdrug. You can probably order it in to collect if you are concerned about them not having any (you definitely used to be able to do that with boots, not 100% if you still can now it’s Superdrug)
