My son does subway infusions weekly. We use 3 needles at this point. It does

hurt some, but it's a quick poke. He hated it in the stomach and yanked the

needles out, so we use the upper thigh and alternate weekly. We wrre told Some

kids have " tender tummies " . It's a big party at our house every Friday for

" poke " ,pizza, pop and a movie. Good luck!
