Reusing Ameda pump- what new parts should I buy? Any recs regarding where to buy from?

We are having baby no.2 soon. I hope to bf again and I am sure that some parts of my Ameda pump should be replaced since it has been 3 years since I used it. What parts do you think should be replaced? Any suggestions regarding where to buy? TIA ladies!

  • When we have the next I will be replaceing the tubes and the white peices that go in them (cant remember what they are called right now).  I am not sure about the flanges or the or the peice on the top of the flanges.  But I think they all come in a kit together.  I will also be buying bpa free bottles they now sell.
  • I bought tubes, the white things and the rubber cup looking thing (cause I could only find one), I also bought new bpa free  flanges just because I wanted an extra pair.  

    eta I went through Ameda's site

  • I got BPA free bottles and flanges because my old ones weren't BPA free. I also got new white valve pieces and the silicone diaphragms (just in case the old ones broke - good to have an extra set). My tubing was in perfect shape, and didn't need replacing. I ordered mine from www.breastfeedingexpress.com. They are AWESOME - excellent customer service!
  • I bought a new set of tubes, flanges and bottles .... but I still sterilized and used my old set on occasion... but I could tell a difference in suction when I used the new set. I don't know if those tubes were worn or stretched out or what... but there was a difference in how I pumped and how it felt.  I think I had gone directly through ameda.
