Tamimi Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 only if you're ok with loosing the line. If your asking this question then probably you don't have a PIV meaning the baby has difficult access. Then you will probably waste your only access. catch 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
