Glasgow Airport has provided guidance for travellers who require breastfeeding facilities prior to departure or after they have landed.
The official Glasgow Airport website emphasises that breastfeeding is permitted throughout the premises. It states: “Breastfeeding is welcome throughout the terminal, but if you’d prefer a private space, there’s a dedicated breastfeeding area in the Baby Room.”
The airport notes that further breastfeeding facilities can be found at gates 1-3. Should you require a peaceful environment for yourself and your child, a Baby Room is located next to Gate 16.
These facilities feature:
- Bottle warmers
- Changing stations
- Comfy seating

- Make sure liquids are under 100ml before reaching the scanner, however it is no longer required to place them in a clear plastic. There are no limits for powder formula and oversized liquids (more than 100ml) such as food pouches/specialist baby milk etc are allowed through security
- Do not bring formula or water in flasks that are plastic or metal. Nuby RapidCool flasks are permitted to be carried through security, but must be empty.
- Only carry what you need for the journey. You may be asked to open containers and taste the contents of infant or baby food that you bring with you.
