FTM feeling lost about all these breastpump parts. My insurance does cover Medela which I hear is the best so I'm going with that one, but I don't know what else I need.

I got mine, stared at the pieces, then put it away. I still have no clue for any part except the pads for leaking breasts.

@tahtahme, well that sucks. I'm going to have to figure it out because I will be working.

A lot of hospitals have Medela too. I had a Medela pump and was confused but while at the hospital I used their Medela pump and they taught me how all the parts worked. YouTube videos are helpful too!

The pump should come with the things you need to work the pump, but I would recommend getting a box of breast pads, some lanolin for sore nipples, milk storage bags (I've heard targets brand are good). You may need to buy a couple small bottles for collecting the milk as you pump- can't remember if they're included in the pump kit. Oh!!!! And an old sports bra or bandeau (I use bandeaus) that you can cut holes into to make it into a hands free pumping bra

This is what I mean for the hands free pumping bandeau.

@alyen2, @kimberlyyyy thanks for the information ladies. I did watch a few YouTube videos. I still feel lost but I think I can figure it out as I go. I am guessing I will need more catainers as I work a 9-10 hour day and will probably need 2 of the cold pack cases. I just have to figure out what size shields I'll need. So glad I started looking now.
