Hello everyone,

Should we be able to see fluid sitting in the tube after, and even long after the meal is finished?

We only just began to notice this about a week ago.

Since he started noticing this backflow or whatever it is, he hasn't been trying to take in any extra calories because he's afraid it's going to spill out.

We flush it before and after every meal. And we're not having any trouble getting the formula or the water to go in. But after it all goes in, there is some just sitting there in the tube when he is finished. Is that normal?

Thanks,

Pam
