Liquids in hand luggage can be in 100ml maximum containers, put in a clear bag, until you get through Security when you can buy more !

Took ds to Lanzarote 3 weeks ago with Firstchoice from Glasgow, there were no restrictions on what I could take for ds - bottle of formula, cup with water, snacks etc. The only thing was they made me taste it at customs.

Restrictions dont apply to water/formula for babies

yes , you have to be prepared to taste made up formula, not ideal is you have cartons of readymade. Or buy it airside.

boiled water in baby bottles is ok to have more than 100mls but you will need to drink some at the security scanners. take the formula powder in a separate container and mix it when you need it (so you only have to taste the water!)?

I did long haul to Australia and had my cartons of formula taken away. Luckily they were only my back up and I had once-boiled water in bottles and powder formula in a dispenser. Had to taste food too, so my advice would be only take what you need for the flight and pack the rest in your hold-luggage.

Hipp organic do bottles which are easy for tasting then putting the top back on - no restriction on size
