The TSA rules for liquids are described as the 3-1-1. Meaning 3 ounces, 1 quart, 1 bag, It is a security measure that helps insure the safety of all passengers. Each passenger, including children, is allowed to bring a clear one quart zip top bag. Make sure that all liquids or gels are in a 3 ounce or smaller container. Place all of your liquids into the clear plastic bag, and then put that on the top of everything in your carry-on bag. After you arrive at the airport, and are going through security, the clear plastic bag can easily be removed from your carry-on and placed into the security bin. The TSA insists that you use a clear zip top bag. Do not take larger than 3 ounces and partially filled bottles, or larger than 3 ounces partially filled tubes of anything, they are prohibited. The rules about liquids are pretty clear, but the TSA has a great poster to demonstrate the 3-1-1. Certain medications in larger sizes are allowed.

We (www.luckylittletravelers.com) recommend that you look for TSA approved clear zip top bags that come as a kit in the travel section of most department stores. The kits contain the correct size bottles. They are inexpensive and easy to find.
