I received the Ameda Purely Yours pump as a gift. Are there any extra supplies I should get to have avaiablle, i.e. extra membranes? How interchangeable are the extra supplies? I'm guessing I can you any type of bag, etc? I don't plan to buy supplies until my LO gets here just in case I'm not able to bf, but I thought it'd be good to make a list and become more educated about what you need and what is nice to have.

I would have an extra set of the little white membrames...they tear VERY easily. I would go on ebay to buy them, so much cheaper than $8 in the store for one set! The diaphragms are pretty durable, but doesn't hurt to have an extra set since they can be easily lost. Also, a hands free bra will be a big help. The Ameda pump is amazing, what an awesome gift to get!
I bought some extra bottles to pump into, but I got generic brand b/c the Ameda ones are expensive. I also have lots of valves (the white things). I have 3 sets of flanges. I pump at work - 5x per day during the week - as well as 2x per day on weekends.
