New mother and actress Alyssa Milano had her freshly pumped breast milk confiscated at Londons 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 were simply tested and handed back with no issue. Makes no sense at all.

Did it get hot in here, or is it just Alyssa Milano? LMAO! Seriously, though. I agree with her.
I know you got something to say bout this...
"...yeah, it was that fat bobby and the one with the slick hands...yeah those two..really!"
I’ve nursed and pumped and flown and had to throw milk away. Done it all.
It is my opinion that she’s just making a big deal out of very little. Ok, so it’s irritating. Still, calm down! Pump more, nurse the baby. It was what....10 oz??? Shaking head. So they are jerks, it’s not like they made you throw away a month’s worth of mother’s milk. Making a mountain out of a little molehill.
To think that the actor who played her littler brother on “Who’s the Boss” wound up a poofter.
Aging nicely...at least in this pic.
Those are the rules. If Alyssa will go on a social media rant about my shaving cream and Coke the TSA took away a couple of weeks ago, I’ll be glad to do likewise to her.
Even allowing for some digital fine tuning, that’s looking nice.
desperately seeking attention
Wasn’t she dating the Pittsburgh Penguins at one time?
Same here...toothpaste. Been flying with regular sized toothpaste forever. All of a sudden the goons at Heathrow decide they need to take it away.
Ping to Joe Biden.....
Sadly, AM has seemed a little desperate for attention even before now. It’s been remarked on. A lot of over 40 actresses do fine, and a lot of them end up not working much because of their general demeanor. There’s always Lifetime Movie and Hallmark.
One can only imagine what a bottle of Alyssa Milano’s breast milk would sell for on Ebay.
Toothpaste Nazi!
