Good point. As I understand it, even baby bottles with milk in them are subject to confiscation under the "dangerous liquids" alert. Supposedly the person bringing it on has to drink from it, or something, to show it isn't a dangerous explosive liquid.

So...I'm thinking that breast-feeding on planes is a really good idea. As my father-in-law told me many years ago, breast milk is always the right temperature, always the right formula, the cat can't get at it, and it comes in cute containers. ;-D

And certainly it quiets the infant, which anybody on a plane must appreciate. My children weaned themselves to a cup around 9 months, but I know a lot of women who have nursed longer. No problem for me.

PS, my DIL flew to Korea to visit my son, after #1 grandson was born. The baby was 3 weeks old, and he cried on the plane, so she breast-fed him. Nobody on the plane complained about that, but since she is very well built, they did ask her if the baby was getting "too much" milk. ;-D

That was 12 years ago. People are different, everywhere.

I guess it's a good thing that they don't yet apply that rule to the breasts themselves...

An infant yes. This kid was a walking, talking eating solid food toddler.
