Travelling with babies

At Heathrow, we try to make travelling with a baby as easy as possible.

Taking baby food, breast milk and prepared milk through security

• While there are restrictions on the liquids you can take in your hand luggage, when travelling with a baby, you’re allowed to take enough baby food, sterilised water, prepared baby milk and expressed breast milk (up to 2 litres) for the journey.
• Due to the security testing process, any expressed breast milk to be carried in hand luggage must be in liquid form, not frozen.
• Any additional liquids will need to be packed in your checked-in baggage.
• Expressed breast milk up to 2 litres is permitted even if you are travelling without your baby.
