Traveling with Baby

Hey there, what are the rules with traveling with home made baby food? I have them stored in 4oz mason jars. Its not a big deal considering I can make some once I arrive to my sisters house. Just wondering if I could take some along!

You can place them in your checked bag or in a carry on bag.  As they are larger than the standard 3.4oz limit you will need to remove them from your carry-on when you go through security and request special screening for them.  It helps if the child is there with you so they have a clear understanding it's for the child, but that does not appear to be a requirement.

I agree with @TheMiddleSeat. You can carry the food on your bag.
