• Any custom/security issues in bringing the EBM through airport security?

In some countries like New Zealand and Australia, it does get a bit more difficult as they don’t allow ‘unprocessed food’ to enter. So, just pump and dump when you are entering the countries to avoid any unpleasant experience, and only bring back whatever you express inside the countries. The rules are only applicable for ‘enter’ not for ‘exit’.

Other countries in our region like Taiwan, Singapore, Laos, Thailand etc should be ok. At the most, you will be questioned after they x-ray the cooler box. Just tell them that it is to store your breast milk. You can also tell them these are ‘for medical purpose’. That’s right, isn’t it? If we don’t express we will be sick with blocked ducts or mastitis.
