If we put the cannula in my daughters arm where would the pump go ?its too big to attach to her arm ? Would the neck holder be ok if we used 60cm tubing ?we change her site this afternoon up to now just used her tummy but sge wants to try her arm

I have never bought a neck holder myself but did a compromise and use a childs sock with a strong popper sewed inside the ankle bit and then used a hole punch at the toe end in the corner, neatened with some clear nail varnish to prevent fraying and then usec some circular elastic to thread through the hole to create the neckband. I sometimes use this instead of bra and it works really well. There is a Uk company that manufactures pump socks for kids with neckband. Google insulin pump socks
Another thought for you is how about transforming a One Direction sock? Lol

If using arm, put some tape over flexlink to prevent it coming loose or use Rapid D with some tape across it
