Postpartum is tender. Overwhelming. Beautiful. And often, unsupported.

You Were Never Meant to Do This Alone

I’m Arnikka

Neonatal Nurse, Lactation Consultant IBCLC, Mother of Two

I created SuckleBubs because I’ve been where you are. Tired. Tender. Trying to sift through a sea of conflicting advice about feeding, sleep, and what’s “normal” in those blurry early days.

With years of clinical experience in neonatal care, lactation and infant feeding, and neuroprotective developmental support, I saw a gap — not in mothers, but in the system meant to care for them. Mothers were being given piecemeal advice, rushed consults, and routines that didn’t honour their baby’s biology or their maternal instincts.

So I built something different.

At SuckleBubs, we offer continuity of care — the kind that doesn't end after one session. Through our Packages and personalised sessions, you’re guided, held, and gently supported to feel confident in your body, your bond, and your baby.

My Philosophy: Milk Is Mothering
Feeding is more than nutrition. It’s communication, co-regulation, and deep relational care. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or doing both, we honour the emotional and physiological connection between you and your baby.

I teach families

  • The language of newborns

  • Breastfeeding and bottle feeding foundations

  • How to care for yourself and navigate sleep (both yours and babys)

  • How to make confident informed decisions so you can thrive after birth.

  • How to co-parent with your partner from day one.
