Re: [IPp] sleepwear/clothing for pump
We bought a small case for our son's Animas pump at Wal-Mart (it's an MP3
player case actually, made by Case Logic and was $4). There's a loop on the
back of it. We just slip our son's belt through the loop and he wears it on
his waist during the day. At nighttime and if he is wearing pants without a
belt loop, we just use a large safety pin around the loop and pin it to the
waistband of his pants, his pajamas, or just his underwear (our son is young
and this works great for blanket sleepers). There's a small hole in the top
of our case that you can slip the pump tubing through (really helps to have
somewhere to stick the extra tubing so it doesn't get caught on things). The
cases that we got from Animas with our pump were just clip on cases and they
don't work for an active child. There are several companies that make pump
packs to place pumps in. They have some at Animas, Pump Wear, etc. If you do
a Google search you should be able to find them. We just opted for the case
we found at Wal-Mart because it was so much cheaper and suited our needs
perfectly.
Good luck.
