Can I opt for the 24mm breast shield instead of the 27mm? Thanks.

yes - these are great. i've tried other brands' breastshields with their pumps and they didn't work very well. BUT, these medela shields worked great for me with the harmony

I was a 36DD pre-pregnancy and I wore an E/F while nursing, and I ordered the XL/XXL flanges. I honestly didn't know I needed a larger set and was using a L until I was having trouble and talked with a friend about it! It's mostly trial and error and fit isn't just based on breast size but also nipple size so don't be surprised to find yourself changing them up to find a good fit especially in the beginning.

Yes. That is one of the advantages of this pump. I used the same 30mm breast shields with the Harmony as I do on my Freestyle and they fit the same way they do on the electric pump.

The manual pump has a standard size breast shield. Do not get replacement sheilds for the manual pump, they will not fit. The manual pump is more comfortable because you control the suction.

Sizes for nipples not sure but they comes in two sizes: 24mm which is the standard and another pair 27mm The bottles: 5oz

That seems like it would be the better choice. I'm not sure if there's a weight difference between the 25 and the 27 but seems in your case the 25 would be better suited for you.

Snug, but not too snug. If the nipple is constantly rubbing against the sides of the shield, it can get friction burn and start to hurt. Especially at the base.

Yes. My Sit-Stand monitor arm is holding a 24" monitor over a 27" monitor and there is plenty of clearance. My 27" is also on a monitor arm so it is actually sits higher than it would be if I used the built in stand for the 27".The only downside to this sit-stand monitor arm is that it doesn't adjust to multiple heights easily. Any time you want to adjust the height of the monitor you have to loosen, move, and then tighten a couple of the adjustment points. In the grand scheme of things this is really trivial, but something that you might want to be aware of prior to purchase. Yes.

i tried the silicone sleeve off of the life factory bottles, I actually bought it for this purpose, and it doesn't fit without cutting. It is just too short, in comparison to the 22 ounce water bottle (they don't make 24 oz)

I have the Sony 16-50mm lens and the case fits. I would assume the 24mm is no larger that the 24mm

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!)

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.

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!

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

24mm is the largest in the contact nipple shields. I use the 27mm PersonalFit Breast shields for pumping, but I have no problems nursing using the 24mm nipple shield. I have three of them! Worth every penny. Used them for nearly ten months with my first child and we're at nearly 5 months with child #2.
