  I was lucky enough to get a hand-me-down Medela breast pump from my sister-in-law.  My question is, I am trying to figure out what I need to replace and came across this: https://www.amazon.com/Breastshields-Compareable-Personalfit-Connector-Replacement/dp/B00CM8OZ6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415574210&sr=8-1&keywords=medela+replacement+parts
  
  Any know if this covers what I need?  Thanks in advance for your help!
  

  DO NOT buy that kit. If you read the reviews it's all different off brands and strange labels and packaging. 

  
  

  You need 

  
  

  2 connectors 

  2 valve and membranes (sold in two packs together)

  2 hoses (sold in 2 pack)

  2 flanges (I would use my SIL's if they fit)

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Quite frankly, personally, I wouldn't replace all this stuff. I have because I have 3 pumps and EP, but I'd use my SIL's if the opportunity was there. 

  
  

  I'll update with links once I find everything.

  Follow up question:  the flange size... correlates to breast size?  Sorry, probably a stupid question, but FTM here.
  
  She already got rid of everything aside from the pump itself.

  Not breast size, nipple size. 

  
  

  Medela always comes with size 24m and I've found in my experience on TB that they're almost always too small. The 27m are the ones that most people use. They have a chart on their website, but that's even more confusing. The lactation consultant at your hospital should be able to size you before you leave so that you can order them. If you absolutely have to order them now, I'd go with the 27m
