Alyssa Milano is a strong supporter of breastfeeding and is not afraid to show it with pictures, words and actions. After a long flight to the UK, the actress was furious when customs confiscated her pumped breast milk.
Apparently, Milano was traveling without her baby, but still needed to pump to keep her supply of breast milk. She had expressed 10 ounces of milk during her flight, but when she landed customs said it could not enter the country. She was told that if the baby was with her, she could of kept her milk in her possession. She quickly took to Twitter to express her anger.

(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????
