    Yes, another holiday related question :o

    We're bringing Cillian away in a few weeks and I'm wondering what are the restrictions on liquids when it comes to your baby's bottles?

    Are the liquid rules still in place at all? I thought I'd read somewhere that they were being lifted?

    Cheers

    Not a problem. If you have cartons... no problem. If you have bottles actually made up then you may be asked to sample them.

    theres talk all right of the rules being lifted but that'll take a while yet as theres new scanners needed.

    Its very random as to whether you will be asked to sample the bottles or not, but in principle baby foods are allowed in quantities needed for the journey.
    The wife has travelled with our 18 month old on maybe 6 return flights and only once was asked to sample the foods herself.

    In the US they dipped the milk (to test for explosives).
    In ireland i was asked to sample it, and in the uk it was dipped.

    I go back and forth to Ireland from the UK regularly and am nearly always asked to sample the formula, even if I bring a sealed carton. I've always had to open the carton and taste it. It's not a big deal but do be prepared to have to taste :) Thankfully my wee one is moving onto cows milk now :)

    I've tasted it before by accident (opening a carton with my teeth) Not my cup of tea :o:D

    I'd allow anything that keeps a child from screaming on a flight :mad: even if it contains poison or it ticks
