Here are the EU regulations from the Dublin Airport website:

http://www.dublinairport.com/at-airport/airport-security/EU_Liquids_Regulations.html

In the FAQ they state:

"What about passengers that need medicines, dietary foods or baby food in liquid form?
The new EU aviation security regulations allow some exemptions to the restrictions. These include essential medicines and dietary requirements in liquid form, for example baby-food or food for people on special diets. Passengers are allowed to bring these items to the screening points in the quantities that they need during their trip.
However, as a safeguard, passengers may be required to demonstrate that the product is real medicine or special food, and not something less innocent."

and

"Can I bring baby food/milk through security?
Yes, baby food or food for people on special diets is exempt from the new regulations. Passengers are allowed to bring these items through the screening points in the quantities needed during their trip.
Passengers may be required to demonstrate that what they are carrying is real and for genuine use and not something less innocent."

Thanks for that. I had heard something about having to taste the breastmilk to prove it is not liquid explosives or something.

I think I will leave that to the baby.

I remember i was going through Heathrow about a month or two after these regs came into force, and some poor couple with a baby in front of me had been stopped and five or six security personall were observiing them sampling a number of baby bottles, each parent had to taste each bottle.

But while this was in progress i went throught the metal detector and set it off, I had forgotten to take coins etc out of pockets.

So i waited for the usual pat down and to be sent back throught, but all very so interested in the battle tasting festival, that no-one came, after a few minutes i got bored and went on my way...

I will have make sure we only take one bottle & let the Mrs do the deed.

Changing ****ty nappies is one thing but I am NOT standing in the middle of Dublin airport sucking boob juice out of a babies bottle.
