breast pump question

Hey ladies. I'm a first time mommy. I plan on breast feeding. What accessories aside from the actual breast pump do I need? I know I need storage for the beat milk, but I'd there anything I need?

Make sure the flanges are the right size, my nipples were so sore and I found out I was using the wrong size! I would recommend seeing a lactaion consultant soon after and take your pump with you! Check with your insurance to see if they cover one. Lansinoh is a great brand for bags pads and ointment! I tried every breast pad til I found one that I liked! Good luck with everything! Always ask for help if you need it and don't give up!
