Hey guys my 2 year old daughter is having her trial with a pump at the minute. But I'm unsure of the best way to send her to bed with it attached?! She's wore a pump bag during the day no problem, but I'm not sure how other people sleep with their pumps? She slept last night in her pump bag but I'm not sure if that's the best idea? Any help would be muchly appreciated! Thanks x
 
Hi @Skye's_mummy I wear a pump belt, it's made of lycra so super stretchy and I have no problems at all sleeping at night with this on, I think for a child this is the best suggestion as it is very comfortable, you can pick one up off Ebay for about £10
 

Thanks that's great, obviously it has to be strapped to her all the time otherwise I would worry about her pulling her cannula out! I'll have a look at a lycra one.
 
I use either a soft pump belt that seals with velcro and has a soft case for my pump on it, or I simply clip my pump to my nightclothes using the pump clip.

There are companies that make things specifically for young children so it may be worth a Google.
 

Thanks love, I'll have a good look.
