Would you need to buy this airside? Isn't baby milk exempt from the 100m rule?
I remember taking a few bottles through in a cooller bag. Airport security took them away to check. Then they put them back in the cooler bag with the ice packs which could have been filled with anything.

If one were cynical, you could think Boots and LHR have a little arrangement there.

I think it all depends on who you get. We were fine leaving GCI, LGW and JNB, but LHR, no. They wouldn't allow it through without us opening and tasting all the (sealed) ready made packs. We only had two packs because I knew what might happen. I was getting ready to lose the plot when they started suggesting formula powder wasn't allowed but sense prevailed.

OP, the linked report may give you some pointers and info on BA F infant travel.

When I read about all the issues about "forumla", "heating", "sterlisaiton", I really don't understand why mothers wouldn't use the two easy food supplies they have on tap. Under 6 months it's painfully easy to keep babies fed.

Well there are several reasons why some mothers cannot do that (no matter how hard they want to) . Top of that list is not having those "two easy food supplies" on their anatomy to begin with.

Besides, manboobs aren't good at producing milk

On a lighter note, if you ever find yourself on a flight with unallocated seating, breastfeeding while boarding is an excellent way of ensuring you have row of seats to yourself.
