Breast Pumps??

[cetcar]

We just ordered this the Spectra 2 Hospital Strength Breast Pump (http://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Baby-USA-Double-Single/dp/B00BLBLR1I) through our insurance.  We don't really know much about breast pumps.....will we need to order any accessories?  Any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks!

It depends on what comes with the pump and how you'll be using it. When you ordered did it give you a list of accessories? We used a medela instyle and it came with everything we needed for basic use. My sister ordered her pump and then ordered travel accessories because she pumps in the car a lot. I bet if you go to the spectra website they will give you a list of extras you can order should you need it! :-) Not sure how helpful that was!

And it probably comes with 1 set of whatever you need. I reccomend getting 1 or 2 extra sets (tubing, phlanges, etc.)

Like first said, check to see what it comes with. I bought a battery pack and car adapter plus 3 sets of parts so I don't have to wash them every night. Get some nipple cream too and maybe even some hot/cold nipple packs. You may want to use them in the beginning while you're getting your nipples toughened up. Sometimes icing the girls down helped with pain and I used to use the hot pack to get my milk flowing.
