Hi, Rocky

   Congrats on purchase of the pump! Shields down to 21 and even 19mm can be found on eBay at very reasonable prices if you search 'Medela breast shields'.  Not all will be Medela-brand and some are whole replacements while others are inserts to reduce a larger size.  If not inducing lactation you can also modify the shield by removing the bottle attachments and cut the shield shorter to reduce the volume of the shield, giving greater range of pressure adjustment.  Use rubber stoppers trimmed to length with holes drilled in them to fit the hose adapters if they no longer fit as originally designed.  Good luck & happy pumping!!
