If you have a used pump it's always smart to get new tubing since that's where the breast milk flows through. I got mine from ebay.

Milk actually doesn't flow through the tubes, but it's still not a bad idea to replace them.  They can get water in them from washing, etc, and may mold, etc.  I think if they don't appear to have mold or anything like that, you could just boil them for 10 minutes to sterilize.

Both times I got a full pump parts kit from the LC at the hospital. If you are a FTM bring your pump and the LC will show you how to properly use it. This time I just asked for a kit and she brought me new tubing and a full set of membranes, containers, shields, etc. I'm sure it was figured into my bill but it felt "free"!

That is surprising that you were told to find a retailer. Medela directed me to their website and I ordered them right from there. I know that you can get some brands on Amazon or eBay, but sometimes they're knock offs and they're not exactly the right size.

They wear out so it's not a bad idea to have an extra set. When I had ds2 they gave me a kit. With dd ( different hospital) they didn't. Babies r us has most kits as well as amazon.

The LC at the hospital had oodles of extra tubing. She also stocked me up on nursing pads, BM storage bags, Lanolin and Bottles
