I have size F (could get larger) breasts, and already have a hand pump. Can I replace my old shield with a larger one? where do I get the larger one?

Available on Amazon or other online sites. I a size DD pre-pregnancy and usually use the 27 mm shields (large). They also come in x-large which is 30 mm and those have been comfortable on me as well.

I would get one to err on the side of caution. My lactation consultants were very helpful and offered me one of these. I don't know if you have an LC or how breastfeeding friendly your providers will be or how willing they'll be to work with you. Not knowing your situation, I'd say to get a shield just in case. It has been a lifesaver for me.

I could not find a shield to fit my model number, I finally had to use the capacity of the bowel as a guide. This shield will fit a 6 quart bowel.

Personally, I used the breastshields that came with the pump as a guide; if they fit snug, buy a size or 2 up. Here is an illustration from the Medela website:http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/assets/file/Choosing%20the%20right%20size%20breastshield%281%29.jpg

I've had the same problem...and sorry to tell you I was told by the company they don't sell replacement pumps for these. I wasn't able to find a different brand pump to fit either.

This is a set of 3 sizes...med, lg, xL I would say the large Pumpin' Pal shields are most similar to the 27 mm in size, but MUCH more comfortable!

Sorry it took a few days to answer this - I had to check since it had been so long! You can absolutely switch out the breast shields. The same yellow piece with the white membrane can be changed to the different shields. Good luck & happy pumping!

Yes and no. The symphony and lactina require an adapter on the end of the tubing, whereas this does not. If you rent a symphony or lactina, all that you need to do is cut that end off the tubing, and it is good to use on this pump. The breast shields are the same.

I have to second Michelle's post. I LOVE my Isis Duo pump & use it 6 times a day---it really pumps out my milk! My breasts grew form 33DD to 33H and my nipples were becoming bruised in the Isis. I removed the petals which helped, but didn't solve the problem. I read about the Pumpin Pal during a late night of very painful pumping & ordered them. They are incredible! The XL encases about half of my breast tissue which seems to pull out even more milk--and the pumping tube is now so long that my nipples don't hit anything--they just extract milk. It's the best complement to the ISIS. I also have the Simple Wishes bra which is also a great product and allows you to go hands free in pumping. Good luck! I have to second Michelle's post.

I would recommend calling Playtex customer service. I am not familiar with that brand. Some pump manufacturers sell adapters so you can pump into different brand/size bottles. That is something to look into as well. Playtex should be able to tell you though. Good luck!

Honestly, the 24 mm shields don't work with MOST breasts. However, there is a great aftermarket product that does work with the Avent Isis pump and every pumping mom should own anyhow. www.pumpinpal.com (no, I do not own the company -- just a satisfied customer!) The shields fit into the Avent shields and they actually "engulf" more breast tissue than a standard shield so you'll find you get more milk anyhow. Highly, highly recommended. I get so much more milk with the Avent Isis/Pumpin Pal combination than even with a rented Medela Symphony and the Pumpin Pal Super Shields. The Avent Isis is SO worth it -- you just need to buy the aftermarket shields (also, get a Simple Wishes bra!)

Yes these are the ones that fit. I also recommend you look up being the right shield size. You may have to replace the comfort shield if you have larger nipples. It will save you some frustration of you have trouble after you have your baby.

Sometimes the larger size does come with a pump. If you get one, save the pump! You can rinse it out and reuse it.

Well, it depends on which flanges (breast shields) you use... if you're using the Medela or Maymom brand breast shields, the breast shields of those brands hook directly up to the Hygeia pump, but you use these conversion rings to connect the Medela or Maymom brand breast shields to Avent brand bottles. If you're using the Hygeia brand breast shields, you probably don't need these. The Hygeia brand breast shields will screw into the Avent bottles (they're a little cross threaded, but they work - I've never had a problem doing this).
