Playtex drop ins problem

I was wondering if anyone was having this problem and maybe had a
reason and solution. I am usng the disposable drops ins, and the flow
of formula out of the nipple is fine at the beginning of feeding, but
after awhile, the formula no longer flows out of the nipple freely. I
think this may affect how much formula the baby is able to get out of
the bottle. Any help would be apprectiated, I like the convenience of
this product, and want to continue using them.

It just means they have to work for it a little. The same thing
happens to me -- there's always a small bit left over but the
convenience makes up for a little wasted breast milk. I guess that
you could put a little more formula or breast milk in the bottle that
you want them to drink and sacrifice that small bit in leu of
convenience?

I believe that this is because of the vacuum that is built up by suckling.
Once it seems to not flow freely, simply screw off the nipple, break the
vacuum, and screw it back on. Now whatever liquid is left in the bag should
flow freely to the nipple and drip out.
