F/u to flying with a lot of pumped milk

Well I'm waiting for my flight here at the san fran airport, so I made it through security with all 90 or so ounces of milk. I brought it all in a cooler, and told the guy at the xray machine that it was breast milk. He looked at it and was like, uh...how much? I was like, a lot? He did not look like he knew what to do with it. They ended up just doing that test where they rub a piece of paper on it and put that into a machine. I also forgot to take out my computer so I was all kinds of trouble. Still didn't take much extra time though. In a related note, SFO has pumping rooms! Atlanta does not, though. Boo. I can't wait to get back home to my baby!

    Glad it worked out!! In an ironic twist... The flight attendant lounge in Atlanta has a mothers room, but the one in SFO does not. :) What airline are you flying??

    How funny, maybe they figure you can use the public one. I'm on Delta.

    Thank you for following up. I'm going on a trip this weekend and have been wondering how the return trip with a bag full of milk is going to be.

    Sounds like it went really well! When I flew with all my milk a few weeks ago they didnt test it and I got a little lecture about how next time I need to take the other liquids out (baby tylenol)...They were really super nice about it!

    Does anyone know how it works flying with frozen BM?  My BFF is flying to Florida in a week or so with her LO for vacay and she wanted to take down some of her stash because she knows there may be times she'll pump & dump.

    flying with frozen milk is fine.  i've done it a number of times (i froze while on business trips while i was still nursing dd1).  i just stuck bags of frozen milk in a soft cooler and went through the same drill described above.  every airport seems to have their own screening procedure, but i would just loudly declare to anyone who would listen that i had a bag full of breastmilk. usually they would find a female screener who would examine the milk.

    i also used frozen peas instead of an ice pack since i wasn't sure if the gel in the ice pack would be a problem.

    The gel packs are fine! I found some at my local dollar tree that have stay insanely cold!! Today I worked from 9am until 7pm and they were still frozen when I got home to put them back in the freezer.
