I have just bought a second hand Medela Mini Electric Pump. What do i need to buy now?

[PavlovtheForgetfulCat]

What bits should I consider replacing?

Also, what extras do i need, such as bottles (it comes with one, but i obviously need more than that). How many would be good, can I buy generic/other makes to fit, can i buy bottles that I can screw teats straight on to, or should I put into freezer bags?

I was given a Medela Mini with loads of spares - I'd happily send you a number of the 'trumpet' attachments and the little yellow bit that goes on them. Can spare at least one bottle too if you're interested?

really? oh that would be so generous of you! I would be happy to pay for them, and postage too.

If you CAT me (my sub is out!) we can sort details, i have a paypal a/c.

I had to buy a bigger flange (the bit that your nipple goes in) becasuse the stanard one was too small and was very painful and ineffective.

i have small nipples, so hope that won't be a problem for me...but will check that out just in case, thanks for tip!

You don't need to pay for them, I was given them for free myself, but I haven't subscribed to CAT (I hardly ever post on here). Don't really want to put my email address on here either - is there any other way to get in touch?

The fresh up kit on the website I linked to on your last thread is good value, as it has the complete new kit for £9.49

here

got it - delete away and I'll email you.

tombliboobs what a great site! Thanks for the link, i am now pleased I have bought second hand, seeing I can get all the relevant bits cheaply. The pump only cost me £15, used twice!

It does make it a lot cheaper. I think the medela mini is really good too.
