How do you travel with a bottle fed baby?

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.

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.

Yes, you can bring powdered formula on the plane. I never have brought a whole can, but usually slightly more than I think I'll need. I don't bring bottled water because you have to get it screened further at TSA (see here: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures/traveling-children). But that is allowed.

The best time to fly with kids While you can't always fly at the optimal time (based on your child's age, that is), it's great when you can. The best times, most agree, are between three and nine months, when kids aren't yet mobile, and any time after age two or three.

A further solution is to bring a travel steriliser. There are several single bottle travel sterilisers on the market which can work in microwaves or for cold water. They can be used for dummies too. Once at your destination, ask for a large container so you can use the cold water sterilising option.
