What are the guidlines for packing baby formula when your flying. I was told if the baby formula wasn't opened it was fine. I have seven cans of formula because I don't plan to come back till January 4th. Any info will help, thanks..

i think its fine to just have it checked with ur bags but if u are wanting to take any ON the plane and get it thru the check points n crap go read the TSA guidelines-
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/children/formula.shtm

the reason they wouldnt let u take it, from the TSA website-
When traveling with your infant or toddler, in the absence of suspicious activity or items, greater than 3 ounces of baby formula, breast milk, or juice are permitted through the security checkpoint in reasonable quantities for the duration of your itinerary, if you perform the following:
- Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag.
- Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint.
- Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.

I would call the airline just to be sure, when I flew with my little one a few years ago I had pumped 10 oz of breast milk so it would be easier to feed him on the plane (I had my other 2 boys with me alone) and they would not let me take it on the plane. Nice right???
