New mother and actress Alyssa Milano had her freshly pumped breast milk confiscated at London’s Heathrow Airport Thursday, which left her reeling on social media.
The 42-year-old, who gave birth to her daughter in September, first tweeted the difficulty of pumping on a plane. That message was soon followed up with another in which she called out the airport for taking her milk altogether.
“@HeathrowAirport just took my pumped breast milk away. 10 ounces. Not okay,” she wrote in a tweet. “They said they would let the pumped milk through if I had the baby with me. Why would I need to pump if I had the baby with me????”
A representative for the airport was quick to respond to Milano, and explained she could have kept the milk had her daughter been present.
“If you are not traveling with a baby/infant all your liquids must comply with the 100ml rule,” read the guidelines. “Spare supplies should be packed in hold baggage.
Milano fired back at the airport while questioning its rationale for confiscating her milk, but not her shampoo or lotions.
“@HeathrowAirport I would have happily spread milk in different containers (which I travel with) to comply to those liquid rules,” she insisted. “Instead, milk was taken away with no discussion. Shampoo, lotions, etcetera we’re simply tested and handed back with no issue. Makes no sense at all.”

Happiest.
Baby.
Ever.
I think it was the LA Dogers.
If they outlaw breast feeding, only outlaws will have breasts.
she hosts Project Runway All-Stars...
Until Kate Upton has a baby
At one point she did switch from hockey players to married baseball players.
I actually know the actors on the screen.
If she wants to have a baby I think I can help her out
Never watched her shows but I believe she began her career in a movie called Embrace of the Vampire, also with a young Jennifer Tilly. Pure exploitation and OMG.
Guess she wanted someone with a full set of teeth.
Never heard of ‘Project Runway’, but she is doing ‘Mistresses’ which I’ve also never seen -— yet.
Moneywise, I’m sure she’s fine.
In all seriousness, it’s a beautiful child.
All your liquids are belong to us.
Dang. Didn’t know she was married. All my hottie Hollywood girlfriends are getting hitched. My list is shrinking.
Please there are just things I don’t need to know or want to know.
Beech! I care about your breast milk?
They took one of my favorite knives, which I thought I had tossed in my checked baggage.
A Crawford CRKT and I was unbelievably embarrased and pissed at myself for throwing it in my computer case but, there it was and I had no time to mail it back to myself.
Really don’t see what the big deal is. I would have only used it open something or if a friggin terrorist decided to act while I was on the plane he would have been met by an American following Gibbs rule #9 and his crazy would have ended there.
I want my tool back.
Stop crying over spilled milk...
Who’s the Boss!
