How do you travel with a baby that needs formula?

A work around: Bring powdered formula. Go through TSA with baby formula in powder form, then buy bottled water to mix the solution before getting onboard. Be sure to bring more formula than you will need, to accommodate for any travel delays. NOTE: Never use the water from an airplane bathroom to make formula.
