Celebrity Mum Alyssa Milano Furious After Having Breast Milk Confiscated By Heathrow Airport

Alyssa Milano has sent a series of angry tweets after having her expressed breast milk confiscated by Heathrow Airport.

The 'Charmed' actress spent her flight pumping breast milk – only to have it taken away when she landed in London. Talk about frustrating.

“Pumping on a plane is difficult. Small FYI,” she tweeted before her flight took off.

The actress expressed her anger at the situation, writing, “(1 of 2) @HeathrowAirport just took my pumped breast milk away. 10 ounces. Gone. Not okay.”

Alyssa revealed that if she had her baby daughter with her, there wouldn't be a problem.

“(2 of 2) 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????," she tweeted.

Alyssa, who’s a mum to Milo, four, and Elizabella, seven months, continued her Twitter rant, writing, “.@HeathrowAirport Why can you test my toiletries to make sure they are safe but you have to throw away my breast milk.”

Alyssa’s away for home enjoying a “romantic getaway” - but things haven’t got off to a good start.

She tweeted about how nervous she was about leaving her children at home yesterday, writing, “I’m about to go away with my husband for a romantic getaway. Without the kids. Terrified.”

While the majority of parents will be able to understand Alyssa’s frustration (breast milk going to waste is NOT what any breastfeeding mum wants), Heathrow have replied to the tweet – and to be fair to them, they have a point. The same rule has to apply to all.

We all know that what you're carrying on board a flight doesn't usually get checked when you land, so perhaps Alyssa was transferring onto another airline that wanted to check her bags before she boarded.

Heathrow explained that without a baby present, the UK government requires all liquids in carry-ons to follow the 100ml rule. They also provided a link to more information on the subject.
