I always tell them I have a feeding tube prior to going thru the body scanner or any pat downs. I would suggest having a doctors note saying specifically what he needs to carry for medical reasons. Allow some extra time as the agents will have to test the cans individually. I would pack the formula carefully in double ziplock baggies in his checked suitcase and only carry on what he needs for the time he is traveling. If theres time, the medical supply company can even ship him a case of his formula to the location of where he will be staying to help avoid hauling all those cans. Have a great trip
