Changing pump sites in children

I heard that you get more bubbles when you reuse. There is lubricant on the black ring inside and that can be affected with age. I have noticed bubbles forming along this ring before. BTW. I only get 10 - 30 hours out of my 4 yr olds site.

Our daughter is 4 and we always get 3 days out of each pod (unless we get an error). We have found that her arms give us the least amount of trouble (when we used her upper butt area we would have to give a bolus at pod change - we don’t on the arms). We sometimes go the extra 8 hours also (so 80 hours on a pod) if we are out of our routine (we usually change at night so if we have a pod go bad in the morning - will use the extra 8 hours to get us back to a nighttime change).
