When you you start teaching your child to stick himself? Is there an age? Is there a growth marker ie. his last baby tooth falls out? Any advice would be appreciated.

that's a really great question. since i don't have kids yet i'm wondering, what are the downsides to the port? are they only for infants, or can they be used throughout life?

i had a port for about 10 to 11 years. I had it taken out during the spring semester of my sophomore year in high school. I wanted to be a little bit more independent. Before I had it taken out, I practiced sticking myself.
i know it sounds a little weird, but it just seemed inevitable anyways. I could have had my port for a longer period though.
