SarahBell Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36120247 She continued: "I was willing to let go of the liquid milk. But you also wanted the solid milk because it could 'melt and become a liquid'." So she'd have fed her baby breast milk that had been frozen and then defrosted on a transatlantic flight?500oz (14.8 litres) of breast milk She said that of the breast milk she was carrying "more than 300oz of that milk was frozen. Solid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richc Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 This story doesn't really add up to me. I flew from the US to the UK with my newborn son and a large supply of frozen breast milk about a year ago. Anyone who's been on a flight in the past 10 years would surely realize that this might be an issue and something that you would need to research before showing up at the airport. The airline (BA) had no problem shipping the frozen milk as hold luggage. If security said that she couldn't take the frozen milk on the flight, she could have just checked it,instead. It wouldn't make any sense to take liquid breast milk on the flight without the baby because it would go off before you landed and were able to feed it to the baby (assuming this was a trans-atlantic flight). This sounds like someone who is looking to be offended. "Beyond literally taking food from my child's mouth, you humiliated me and made me feel completely defeated as a professional and a mother.".

blobloblob Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Just read the article. She used an adjective instead of an adverb, so she gets zero sympathy from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were stopped because a baby rattle, in its bubble pack, was picked out for having an unspecified amount of liquid inside it. went through the scanner twice...yes it had liquid in it...so we had to open the bag, get everything out, the third degree, they examined the rattle, and ye you could see a tiny amount of fluid in its workings. sorry about that, cant be too careful you know....

Bloo Loo Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes, she's put a lot of work into that statement. Professional as in professional offendee. and this moody nut job has been in England, doing whatever she does in her professional capacity, meanwhile being under some deeply disturbed mental state...lets hope she wasnt doing much more than taking notes.

Otherwise known as stupid. This woman is a moron. Evidently, much of the milk was in one big container, with which she had travelled through 8 different cities, repeatedly freezing and thawing the milk and adding unfrozen milk to already frozen milk, which made the whole lot unfit to feed to a baby. I feel sorry for that child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgul Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 15kg of breast milk! That's not food, that is a fetish. [surely she had milk production capability built-in... From my days with small babies the expressed milk was only used when parents were round looking after child (and even then, mainly just to annoy them)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
