I never had trouble flying with puree pouches! within Canada or into the states.

I had no issues traveling with pouches either! I took pouches to Cuba, California and within Canada. Umm, and i would be so annoyed if i had to open up the pouches at security! If the seals aren't broken, why would they do that??

I put them in a plastic bag and treated them like a liquid - taking it out of my backpack. I haven't had a problem yet.

I have only flown 2 times with L, both times I brought pouches and I had to put them outside of the bag to go through the machine things, but otherwise it was totally fine! As for messes while eating, I just tried to keep a napkin close and under his chin.

No problem on my end taking pouches. I also put them in a ziplock and just left them in my backpack with her other snacks.

I have never had to open it, people usually get that it spoils. If they hassle you, ask for a supervisor.

@blackbird: We just flew over 4th of July weekend. We probably had 20 pouches in a ziploc bag. Just took it out and put it in the bin to go through the scanner. No problems whatsoever!

I always bag it separately and hand it to the TSA agents and tell them it is food for baby. I usually have to get my hands swabbed but that is the only extra screening they put me through. I've never been asked to open the packages, though once someone remarked "oh good, they are less than 3oz" (which is incorrect -- according to the website they can be any size).

Medically required liquids, such as baby formula and food, breast milk and medications are allowed in excess of 3.4 ounces in reasonable quantities for the flight. It is not necessary to place medically required liquids in a zip-top bag. However, you must tell the Transportation Security Officer that you have medically necessary liquids at the beginning of the screening checkpoint process. Medically required liquids will be subjected to additional screening that could include being asked to open the container. We recommend, but do not require, that medication be labeled to facilitate the security process.

Passengers going on long trips should only carry on the medically necessary liquids and gels needed for their infant/toddler’s immediate comfort during the flight. Please pack larger amounts of liquids for the remainder of the trip in a checked bag.

In my experience, the tsa has never minded things over 3 oz that were obviously baby things-pouches, sippy cups, apple sauce cups, toiletries, etc. When we have a sippy, they test it, but it just takes a second.

I had no problems. The first time I was mostly nursing so there's ones (I think Ella's kitchen) that are under 3 oz, so I just put a couple of those in with the rest of my liquids, and didn't even say anything about them.

The second time she was 10 months, so I brought 3 normal size pouches, and showed them to the agent and they just took it and looked at it. No big deal.

@blackbird: we never had any trouble flying with baby food/pouches. I usually just bring what I need on the plane though and either put the rest in the checked bag or stock up at our destination for the return trip.
