any one with an insulin pump?

If so how are you keeping your nursling from pulling out you infustion setting? Margaret always goes right for the tubbing so far I've been able to prevent her from pulling too hard but its getting difficult. I also used to like using the breast area as a site but she claws at the infustion set (quick set).

Can you use a site that's more out of her reach like your hip or leg? Do you tape the tubing down - that might help secure it a bit better?

I could I jsut hate using that area I'm always pulling it out there and for some odd reason my controll isn't as good.. No I'm not taping always sounds itchy but I guess I could try...

I'm curious about this too. My DS was 2.5 and still nursing when I got my pump, so old enough to understand when told to leave it alone (unless being purposely naughty!), but I'm anticipating problems as my new DD gets a little older. I usually put the infusion set on my lower abdomen or hip though so hopefully will be out if her way. I have had her feet get tangled in the tubing a few times so far.
