Insulin Pump, Flexlink Needle Removal

Shortly going onto the pump after the recent trial with saline instead of insulin loaded into it.
We are using the Accu Check Flexlink Needle to deliver the bolus. Fitting the needle is not an issue but removing it caused tantrums as Callum is only two and a half.
We have used ZOFF pads to soften and remove the plaster with the needle and this works.

Q"
Does anyone know of a bottles version that can be used as we currently go through about 4-5 squeezing the fluid out of the pad?

I was advised by my accu chek rep to try some baby oil if i had any problems, haven't personally needed it yet but have some on standby. Hope you find a solution for Callum
