How do you store baby formula on a plane?

If you are traveling with pre-mixed formula, keep it in an insulated bag with ice packs. If you are bringing powdered formula, mix it with cooled boiled water just before feeding your baby. Use It Before It Expires: Check the expiration date on your baby formula and make sure you use it before it expires.
