I found that the standard ones worked best for me, but my BFF had to order a size bigger. If it doesn't feel comfortable when you first try, then see if a different size feels better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770573 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:30:07 +0000 Revel 770573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also borrowing a pump in style from a friend, and just ordered an accessory set and set of tubing from Amazon. For some reason it was cheaper to order these two sets separately than the whole "replacement parts" set. I'm just hoping I got everything I need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770557 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:27:04 +0000 Ra 770557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies!

Works just fine - but you will need caps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770527 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:20:03 +0000 regberadaisy 770527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Medela comes with standard 24mm and Ameda comes with standard 25mm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770526 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:19:27 +0000 Ra 770526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770525 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:19:13 +0000 Ra 770525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: This may be a stupid question...but how do I know what size breast shield to buy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770523 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:18:47 +0000 regberadaisy 770523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I know with Ameda Dr Brown bottles work just fine. Just make sure you have caps for the bottles. I believe I've read on the boards they do for Medela as well but someone who uses Medela might give you better advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770521 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:17:52 +0000 Ra 770521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I registered for Dr. Browns bottles. Can I use them or do I have to buy Medela bottles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770520 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:17:50 +0000 MamaMoose 770520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a pump from a friend for a while until I ended up getting one free through insurance. When I was using hers I just bought new tubing... everything else I just sanitized her stuff that she gave me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770516 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:17:03 +0000 2PeasinaPod 770516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tubing and the breast shields for sure. I reused everything else a friend gave me with her pump! I just boiled them to sterilize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770513 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:16:32 +0000 regberadaisy 770513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastshields, connectors, valves, membranes and tubing. And new bottles of course.</p> <p>Basically anything that touches your body and the milk will pass through. I don't know about Medela but with Ameda the accessory kit was like $25 I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/borrowed-a-breast-pumpwhat-parts-should-i-buy#post-770507 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:15:17 +0000 Ra 770507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I borrowed a Medela Pump in Style breast pump from a good friend. I know it is frowned upon by the CDC but I know her well and trust her and it saves us a lot of money.</p> <p>What parts should I buy to replace hers? Tubing for sure, right? What else? </p>
