Welcome to the forum.

I do not switch from side to side every 3 days. I was taught by my pump trainer to stay on one side for multiple changes before switching over to the other side.

I am able to get 9-12 site changes on the left abdomin side, then the same amount on the right. I then use my right hip/butt area for 3-4 site changes, then switch over to the left hip/butt area for another 3-4. By the time I get back to the left side of my abdomen, it's a good 8 weeks or so.
