Since this starter kit is pretty vanilla, what other Medela accessories would you recommend getting? Thanks.

You really don't need any. I got an extra set of everything because I get busy and don't always have time to wash and sterilize the parts every night after work, and it has worked out well.

It depends if you will be using it only at home or travel pumping. This pump is easy to travel with it has a carrying handle and is a compact pump but you will need to get a cooler bag and a bag to put it in. I use the travel toiletry bag i brought to the hospital. The medela tote bag was too much $ i thought. The pump comes with two storage bottles so you will need either more of the 5 oz or 2 oz bottles. Hope that helps

The kit is sufficient on its own but you will definitely need milk storage and nursing pads if you'll be away from your baby. For milk storage you can get bags or bottles. Bags are cheaper but the bottles are reusable. Nursing pads can be disposable or washable. If you plan on breastfeeding for a long time, the washable may be the better option. Not sure if medela has washable ones though.

They did not fit without the adaptors, but we liked the Kiinde Twist bottle system (especially with its slow-feed nipple) that mom pumped into the Medela plastic containers and funneled the breastmilk into cheap storage pouches. We then funneled the breast milk from the cheap storage pouches into the Twist pouched for feeding.

I have that pump and the medela. Let me just say the medela is a peice of cake to put on and the lansinoh is a real pain. It's twists on crooked constantly. It's doable, but not without struggle.

Medela does not make it in a 1 piece at this point. You would have to make the set with getting 3 items that we at ANB BABY can help with. You need the shield (what ever size 27mm or 30mm) a pair of connectors as well as valve with membrane set.

Basically the tubing connector supports the same inside diameter as Medela, Ameda, and probably others. Therefore you can use Medela collection kit with Pumpin Pals flange if you wanted. This is how my wife uses it. Or you could use Ameda collection equipment (and probably others). Great machine by the way. The pump action seems a little strange at first as it sort of flutters but she got used to it and actually prefers this model over the fancy $2,000 Ameda Platinum we rented.

Yup so long as your parts can all fit. My wife had the Medela backpack pump and all of her parts fit fine. Pacifiers and other small parts can go in the carriage.

As best as I can ascertain , everything is included you would need. I have not actually used mine but it seems to be well worth the money. The only problem I sense is that it is too compact in the fact that the whole kit is about the size of a softball.

Yes. I recommend getting one of the starter kits - it's a bit more cost effective.

I think the medela bottles are shorter and chunky. You could definitely fit them, but maybe not 6. when they say it fits 6 bottles, I would think ideally it's something like the Dr Brown's or playtex, which are taller and more narrow. Hope that makes sense.

I used Medela bottles with the Ameda pump these go with, so I'd say yes. :)

The medela name is on the manual (piece) that you pump with. It also comes with a medela bottle.

It's not medela branded. Definitely an off brand that just works with the medela.

I had a Medela pump you can only use the models plastic containers that come with it. They have the ability to attach these little tips to them but honestly won't last very long. They are more for storage. I just dumped the containers into my own containers to feed once she got bigger. She stopped drinking from the little medela containers pretty quick because they don't hold much. They are a little over 2 oz or 70ish ML. My daughter was a micro preemie (2lbs) so I got some extra use out of them for like 2-3 months but that's all. She's 6months now and eats several 8+ oz meals everyday and is starting foods.

I have one in mine. This is a very small and very simple and small kit... Problem is it is very rudimentary in what it contains. If bugging out only would involve small scrapes and bruises it's great. Looking for survivability long term..... Not so much

My niece has this item . You have to buy a battery pack separate . I think it is also made by Medela . I seen it on Amazon .com

I would recommend that you get 5 of the 500mah batteries (which will allow much more flight time), the 5 in 1 balance charger and maybe some spare props to keep it flying well in case of crashes (which happens while you are learning). Buying this unit will get you the prop wrench, prop guard and one extra set of props.

Yes, I use medela bottles with this warmer (and phillip's avent) without any problems.
