New mother and actress Alyssa Milano had her freshly pumped breast milk confiscated at London’s Heathrow Airport Thursday, which left her reeling on social media.
The 42-year-old, who gave birth to her daughter in September, first tweeted the difficulty of pumping on a plane. That message was soon followed up with another in which she called out the airport for taking her milk altogether.
“@HeathrowAirport just took my pumped breast milk away. 10 ounces. Not okay,” she wrote in a tweet. “They said they would let the pumped milk through if I had the baby with me. Why would I need to pump if I had the baby with me????”
A representative for the airport was quick to respond to Milano, and explained she could have kept the milk had her daughter been present.
“If you are not traveling with a baby/infant all your liquids must comply with the 100ml rule,” read the guidelines. “Spare supplies should be packed in hold baggage.
Milano fired back at the airport while questioning its rationale for confiscating her milk, but not her shampoo or lotions.
“@HeathrowAirport I would have happily spread milk in different containers (which I travel with) to comply to those liquid rules,” she insisted. “Instead, milk was taken away with no discussion. Shampoo, lotions, etcetera we’re simply tested and handed back with no issue. Makes no sense at all.”

If the baby wasn’t with her, why didn’t she just store the milk in a checked bag?
I wonder if that breast milk pairs well with Milano cookies?
She pumped on the plane. They took it when she switched flights.
Nursing is hard. Nursing without the baby... VERY difficult. Pumping... for me it was almost impossible.
Mastitis... painful. You get all over sick, like the flu.
She’s trying and TSA is stupid. Everyone is stupid when it comes to breastfeeding a baby. Our society is weird like that.
i had forgotten all about "Mistresses." i saw about 20 minutes of an early episode... it did not hold my interest... i do not know if it is still on... Project Runway is a reality television show about a fashion designer competition hosted by Heidi Klumm... each week a designer is eliminated... Alyssa M. hosts the "all-star" version...
Didn’t Alysa Milano also date Michael Douglas???
Maureen Dowd Maureen Dowd Maureen Dowd.
what??? no way!!!
I would gladly try.
Probably not. She doesn't need to seek attention. She was just calling it like she seen it. It made her mad. I don't blame her.
Hey, I’m a plumber! Let me help ya with that pump, little lady!
Gonna need a bigger boat.
Nicely played…..
Oh, you want to hold it for me, or operate it for me?
haha, I was talking about the distant past, I’m afraid.
