Hi Peggy .. is your concern or confusion related to what you are allowed to take through security in hand luggage, or is it about what may be most convenient during the fight ?

Baby food (liquids and solids) sufficient for the duration of the flight, can be taken through airport security. However, the accompanying adult will be required to verify the liquid baby food by tasting it in the presence of a security officer.

Here is a link to BAA which has frequently asked questions regarding what you can and can't take on the plane.

Hope it helps

We flew with a 6 month old in November last year to Tenerife (took 5.5 rather than 4.5 hours), the new regime on what you can and can't take had just been introduced and it was chaos.

We couldn't take unopened ready mix. It had to be opened and put in a bottle, but it only remains fresh for a short time once decanted so we had to throw it away. We were informed Boots sold ready mix, but the store was BEFORE security! Call to see if your departure airport sells baby milk after security.

Alternatively fill bottles with boiled water and take powder - you may have to taste the water though.

Put some ready mix in your case for when you get to your destination.

I've heard of parents being told to throw water in bottles away and buy water airside. from reading experiences of parents, the easiest thing to do is to take formula powder and have the water in the bottles but be prepared to throw water away or buy bottled water airside which is suitable for a baby. Baby food should be allowed but be prepared to taste it. My sister went to Turkey back in June with her baby and didn't have any problems.
