Knowing how hard it can be to get through airport security with breastmilk and infant-feeding supplies, Sen Gupta arrived extra early and prepared.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sure enough, a U.S. Transportation Security Administration agent objected to Sen Gupta\u2019s gel packs, she said. She took out her phone and showed a screenshot of TSA\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsa.gov\/travel\/security-screening\/whatcanibring\/items\/breast-milk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">current policy<\/a>. It stems from a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/114th-congress\/house-bill\/5065?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22BOTTLES+AND+BREASTFEEDING+EQUIPMENT+SCREENING+ACT%22%7D&amp;s=3&amp;r=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 law<\/a>\u00a0and states that breast milk, formula and toddler drinks are considered \u201cmedically necessary liquids\u201d and are allowed in carry-on baggage in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces. The policy expressly allows breast milk and formula cooling accessories like ice and gel packs, and states a child does not have to be present for a parent to carry these supplies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite the law, women continue to report issues with TSA security in airports across the country, saying many workers are not trained on their own policy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe TSA agent had to ask their supervisor to come,\u201d Sen Gupta said. The supervisor reviewed the policy and allowed the gel packs through, she said, \u201cbut it was annoying to me, because I had to add extra time before I went to make sure that I could have this conversation with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sen Gupta was among several D.C. chapter leaders of the national nonprofit Chamber of Mothers who gathered in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Oct. 29, to advocate for the passage of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/820\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening (BABES) Enhancement Act<\/a>. Introduced in the House by Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, the bill would require an audit by the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security within one year of enactment to ensure the policy is being enforced and workers are being trained on how to inspect infant-feeding supplies in a way that is sanitary.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caption caption-drupal-media align-right view-mode--medium\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"drupal-media-wrapper media--view-mode-medium\">\n<div class=\"blazy blazy--field blazy--view blazy--field-media-image blazy--field-media-image--medium blazy--view--article-feeds-v2-feed-categorized-articles-v2 blazy--view--article-feeds-v2 blazy--view--article-feeds-v2--categorized-articles-v2 field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item\" data-blazy=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"figure-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The bill has been introduced in Congress three years in a row but failed to pass despite bipartisan support. In May for the first time the bill cleared the Senate, where it was cosponsored by Democratic Sens. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, and Republican Sens. Steve Daines of Montana and Ted Cruz of Texas. It has advanced in the House, where it has 26 cosponsors, including five Republicans.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe don\u2019t actually need to change the policies. We need to enforce them, to have some oversight for when the policy isn\u2019t adhered to and how they\u2019re held accountable for those missteps,\u201d said Emily Calandrelli, an engineer and science TV host, who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/bipartisan-push-would-make-air-travel-easier-new-parents-packing-breast-milk-and-formula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brought attention to the issue<\/a>\u00a0after her story of being escorted out of an airport security line because of her ice packs went viral.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Calandrelli said she is unaware of major pushback to the bill in the U.S. House, but she is not certain there will be enough support to move the legislation anytime soon, especially as the federal government shutdown is about to enter its second month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">She said she is hopeful that Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida, one of the first Republicans to sign on, will recruit more members of her party.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAt this point, we need Republicans to really lead the charge to help get to the finish line,\u201d Calandrelli said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the meantime, moms who relayed their recent TSA experiences at the Chamber of Mothers event said parents traveling with infant-feeding supplies should prepare themselves for traveling \u2014 have TSA\u2019s policy ready on their phones and arrive well ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Travel security lines may be even slower or flights may be delayed during the shutdown, too, as federal workers like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/us-senate-again-rejects-bill-ending-shutdown-air-traffic-controllers-miss-paychecks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air traffic controllers and TSA agents work without pay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bri Adams, another Chamber of Mothers D.C. chapter leader, said she has been dealing with the headache of nursing while frequently traveling for work for the past few years. A breast milk overproducer who had to pump frequently to maintain her supply, she said agents would handle her milk or supplies in ways that were not sanitary. Over time, she learned to advocate for herself.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI literally had it up on my phone, the regulations on the TSA website, ready to go, and I pretty much just acted a lot more confident,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThis is what I\u2019m doing, and I\u2019m taking breast milk that\u2019s thawed and frozen at the same time, and you\u2019re going to let me on because you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">TSA has not yet responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2018What would make motherhood easier for you?\u2019<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A driver parked the Chamber of Mothers\u2019 black and red bus across the street from the U.S. Department of Labor, which ordinarily would have meant lots of foot traffic. But on the 29th day of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/shutdown-double-whammy-snap-food-benefits-ending-and-federal-workers-go-unpaid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shutdown<\/a>, the sidewalks and streets were largely empty of the typical tourists and federal workers, many who were either furloughed without pay or working without pay.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The bus has stopped in nine cities over the last couple of months. Lexie Wooten said she has been to every stop, where the group\u2019s been asking moms, \u201cWhat would make motherhood easier for you?\u201d Overwhelmingly, responses have been about economic support and paid family leave, she said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Wooten said she could feel the economic anxiety as Americans brace for cuts to health and food assistance programs for people with low incomes, exacerbated by the shutdown. As States Newsroom\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/losing-snap-could-mean-more-pregnancy-complications-food-insecurity-grows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has reported<\/a>, temporarily losing food assistance like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could lead to more pregnancy complications.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cPeople are broke, and it makes everything harder,\u201d Wooten said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Chamber of Mothers CEO Erin Erenberg said the organization now has 43 local chapters in 30 states and about 100,000 members nationwide, and focuses on policies meant to improve access to maternal health care, paid parental leave and affordable child care. Erenberg, who is also an intellectual property attorney, cofounded the nonprofit in 2021 with a group of fellow working moms after\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/19thnews.org\/2021\/12\/us-universal-paid-leave-build-back-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paid family leave was cut<\/a>\u00a0from former President Joe Biden\u2019s Build Back Better plan. One of the state bills they\u2019ve worked on since is Arizona\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/legtext\/57leg\/1R\/laws\/0201.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HB 2332<\/a>, a maternal mental health bill, which Gov. Katie Hobbs signed in May.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Erenberg said the Trump administration, through the office of the vice president and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has reached out to her organization to collaborate. But before the group would work with the White House, she said there are some nonnegotiable terms, which include preserving and expanding access to affordable health care, Medicaid and SNAP \u2014 all impacted by recent federal spending policies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cSo far, this administration hasn\u2019t shown that they\u2019re fully behind what we advocate for,\u201d Erenberg said. \u201cWith pronatalism, we have repeatedly said, great, you want people to have more babies? \u2026 We need paid leave, we need affordable child care, and we need you to invest in what actually would make us healthy \u2026 and survive childbirth.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"snrPubNote\">\n<p><em>This story was originally produced by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/mothers-demand-tsa-follow-its-own-breast-milk-and-formula-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News From The States<\/a>, which is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network which includes Washington State Standard, and is supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formula and toddler drinks are \u201cmedically necessary liquids\u201d and must be allowed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1144,"featured_media":104471,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[351,1420,112],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baby","category-baby-2","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mothers Demand TSA Follow Breast Milk Rules | Seattle Child<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about mothers advocating for TSA to comply with breast milk rules.
