Does this use the same tubes and breast shields as the Symphony and Lactina?

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.

Yes. I have interchanged many brands of bottles and nipples and found them all to work together - evenflo, medela, simplisse/dr. Brown, snappies.

I use the larger breastshields with my pump in style. No special connectors needed.

Both the versions from Madela are compatible. My wife had both, afrer using hospital version she had to return but parts like tube, cup, etc all fitted like cake to style version.

I use both the bottles and the Medela breastpump, and no it does not work with it. Both products are great though!

No. Medela bottles have small necks. This conversion kit makes Medela breast pumps work with Avent bottles.

The 24mm (Medium) size shields come with the pump. having the correct size shield is a big part of getting good flow from the breast. i started off with the mediums but I purchase my own Large size shields at Babies R Us and it made a huge difference.

Don't know. Check with your insurance. Many today are covering breast pumps

No they are not. Everything is different except the breast shields and bottles.

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!

in my experience using the slow flow and calma nipples - all medela products are interchangeable. all medela tops (lids, nipples) fit all medela bottles.

Definitely. With my 2nd child I just bought new breast shields and connector/membrane kit, since it had been a couple years since I had used it and the plastic pieces felt a bit worn out - but the pump itself should still be perfectly fine. You can order the replacement parts on Amazon. I think it ended up costing around $35.

I don't think so- I've only seen a lactina once, at work, but it had a strange piston and I don't think this attached.

Yes! The kit is standard fit to all Ameda breast pumps, including the Ameda Platinum model.

Medela brand accessories i would recomend the charger and exta pumping parts. For non Medela i would highly recommend Pumpin pals flanges to pump with. They are a lot more comfortable then the ones that come with this and are easier on the nipples.

No. The Lactina is a completely different pump. I have both the pump in style and the lactina pump. the hose connection is different. Also the pump and style does not use the piston. It would be a waste to buy this.

Yes, I used 24. But all medelas breast shield are made to fit the connectors.
