Airport travel with Formula..

How much POWDERED formula can we bring on a plane? What should it be in?

I went to the TSA site, but it talks mostly about liquid formula.

DD is on Nutramagin, and although I'm sure I could get it at Target or BRU in FL, I'd like to bring as much as I can in my carry-on with me. But, I don't want to bring it if it's going to get taken away..

Anyone have experience?

Also, how many jars of babyfood can I bring on the plane? Should I check it or in my carry-on?

Leaving a week from Saturday, so I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions!!


Any advice is appreciated!
TIA!!

From my experience (flying when DD was 4 months, 8 months and 11 months), you can bring whatever you want. They may test some of the stuff like bottled water, etc but they don't even have to open it up.

I just traveled internationally last month and i brought a big container of powdered formula in my carry-on. (I was worried what if we get stuck somewhere, or my luggage gets lost, etc.) I had the largest Similac that they sell in the store, I think its 23 oz or so, and they didn't give me a problem.

I brought two of the powder formula holder cups, each held enough for 3 - 6 ounce bottles, they didn't even bat an eye. You shouldn't have any issues at all. I even took bottles filled with water. In one direction they opened them and waived a wand over them to check the vapor. In the other direction they didn't even do that.

They didn't even look at the baby food jars.
