This is a travel alert from the Southwest Airlines website:

Baby formula, breast milk, or juice if a baby or small child is traveling,
and prescription medicine with a name that matches the Customer's name
(along with insulin and essential other non-prescription medicines) are
exceptions subject to inspection at the checkpoint. 

This, of course, is not from SWA but from TSA.  My husband is a SWA pilot
and I will ask him (next time I talk with him) what, if any, the airline
policy is on this.

You can rest assured that on his flights, breastfeeding on board will not be
an issue.
