How do you fly with a bottle fed baby?

Feeding Baby While Flying Seal the bottle with a screw-on travel cap, and once the cabin is pressurized, you're good to put the parts back in and use the bottle as normal. If you want to warm the contents of the bottle, just ask your flight attendant to warm it up in a cup of hot water.

If it's a short trip, pack your prepared formula in a cooler or insulated bag with lots of ice packs. This can be done with prepared powdered, concentrate, or ready-to-feed formulas. Prepared formula can be stored within a cooler bag with ice packs for as long as the temperature inside remains cold enough.
