I’m so grateful to have found Nurturing Flow. When wanting to help boost my supply, I received support on flange fitting, pump selection and hire. There was excellent information, communication and flexibility. This significantly helped my breast feeding journey – I would 100% recommend!
Spectra hire, pump consults and fittings
We're here to support you, mama!
Melbourne’s leading breast pump hire, pumping consult and flange fitting service. We have helped over 100 families feed their babies. We specialise in helping mums straight after birth who may be experiencing feeding or supply issues, mums who are already pumping but are getting little to no milk, mums who need help with their flange size or optimising their settings, and mums who want or need to incorporate pumping into their life but aren’t sure where to start.
Read about our services and how we can support you below.
New Offering - Wearable Pump Trials!
We are excited to bring this new service on board! Wearable (in bra) pumps are super convenient but with so many on the market our clients were feeling overwhelmed. Now you can try them with us while we guide and educate you on everything you need to know about wearables.
Help Me Pump
We have a number of offerings to help you pump better. We provide hospital grade Spectra S1 breast pumps for hire. We take the overwhelm out of pumping with antenatal and postnatal pumping consultations. We have a number of wearable breast pumps available for trial, so you can see which one is right for you.
Flange Fittings
A properly fitting flange (breast shield) is incredibly important to maximise milk output, pump in comfort and prevent damage. Most women’s nipples are sized 15-19mm, so it’s highly likely you won’t fit the standard 24mm flange that comes with your pump. See Fotini for an expert fitting to make sure you’re best set up to pump.
Shop Products
We stock Spectra compatible replacement parts, including flanges, duckbill valves, backflow protectors and tubes. If you pump regularly, these need to be replaced often. Take the quiz on our shop page to check when you should replace your parts.
Lactation Consultants
LCs provide a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We have personally vetted and compiled a list of well regarded IBCLCs who can support you with pumping, breastfeeding, bottle feeding and more.
Meet Fotini, the heart and soul behind Nurturing Flow.
Fotini turned to pumping in the throes of newborn life to save her breastfeeding journey. She knows how challenging breastfeeding can be and how time sensitive resolving any issues can be. She has turned her own experiences and knowledge into passionately helping mums in an area that is often left unsupported and is on a mission to ensure no mum is left figuring pumping out on her own.
“Fotini, you are absolutely fabulous at what you do and how you help us mummas at one of the hardest times in our lives. You made me feel so comfortable at our appointment and I left feeling such a sense of relief.” -Katie
What My Clients Are Saying
Lana R. – Google Review
Fotini was such a pleasure to deal with throughout the hiring process. This is my second time using a breast pump, but first using a service like this and it’s made a HUGE difference to my milk output and comfort. Highly recommend Fotini and Nurturing Flow!

I would recommend this service to all new mums. I chose nurturing flow, because it’s not just a hiring service. Fotini was responsive and super helpful, and took the time to ensure I had the right size (which is really hard to gauge on your own). I felt supported through the whole experience.

Such a great service. Fotini came to my house, fitted me properly for the hired spectra and gave me a comprehensive run through of how to use it. She was so lovely and made me feel so comfortable at a very vulnerable time

I hired a Spectra pump from Nurtured Flow within the week after giving birth as it took some time for my supply to establish. The whole process was seamless – I received super helpful instructions on how to use it, had it delivered to my front door and was flexibly able to extend the hire while waiting for my own pump to arrive. Thanks for your amazing service!

I cannot thank Fotini enough. I was having trouble with my milk supply and pumping. Being a first time mum I was so overwhelmed so in desperation I contacted her and she responded so fast. She was so understanding and kind. She explained how to use the pump perfectly and was super easy. I recommend nurturing flow to my friends who are also pumping or starting too. Once again thank you everything Fotini
Rose Z. – Google Review
Fotini was so pleasant and supportive to deal with, especially at a stressful time post-birth when my own pump had failed me. She delivered the pump to me within the day, and patiently had me fitted for the right flange size (I didn’t get this done with my first and it made such a difference). Thank you Fotini for the great experience, and for helping mums when they need it the most!

Fotini is a life saver! After using a small regular pump with no luck and then hiring the Medela pump based on hospital’s recommendations and buying shields in incorrect size twice with no result, I’ve finally found Fotini and her Hire a Spectra service. She responded very promptly at night and was able to come the next morning for fitting and instructions. The ability to try on different sizes and make sure the fit is right is a unique offer from Fotini which could’ve saved me some money had I known of her services earlier. Highly recommend Hire a Spectra as the machine is far superior to what’s offered everywhere else. Fotini is gentle and takes her time to explain the parts and the settings, she also has pump kits available for purchase at reasonable price. Very happy with the service!

Fotini was lovely, professional and offered a great service – I wanted to try out the Spectra to see if I should purchase myself so it was really helpful to have the opportunity to hire for a week just to give it a go! She also provided really useful support in determining the right flange size which feels like guess work when doing it on your own. Would highly recommend!

Fotini was a life saver when I urgently needed some Spectra parts and to learn how to use my pump. I called her at 8:30am and within an hour was sitting in her house getting fitted and learning how to pump. She was very kind when I turned up in a frazzle and offered ongoing support and recommendations. Highly recommend to anyone needing her services at any time.
