Does anyone know if BA have the ability to heat up a baby/infant meal please? Under 2’s don’t have any food provided thank you

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, as they don't have the facilties to do so. They might offer some hot water for a bottle.

No. It’s a liability issue.

Not on short haul flights, but on long haul, yes BA will heat baby food.

On board our long-haul flights, we offer baby bottle/food warming facilities and also a limited stock of baby food and milk.

It is not possible to order baby meals and we cannot sterilise bottles or provide sterilised water on board. We recommend to carry your own baby food and equipment in your hand baggage.

I wouldn’t want to rely on them actually having baby food / milk onboard, but they should heat yours. Timing might also be an issue if they are in the middle of a meal service.

I went on an easyJet flight and they warmed it in a pot of hot water so make sure it’s a pouch or jar so it can be warmed that way if needed.

I assumed it would be a bowl of hot water rather than using their ovens. Will be making use of this next week.
