What if the newborn days didn’t have to feel so hard?

Imagine actually enjoying your baby, without second-guessing every feed, Googling sleep at 3am, or wondering if you’re doing it “right.”

You weren’t meant to figure this out alone.

In Bloom by Arnikka is expert, emotionally attuned care for the first 12 weeks.

So you can finally feel calm, confident, and connected.

The issue isn’t you. It’s fragmented care.

In the fourth trimester, you're expected to figure out your newborn, feeding, sleep, and your own wellbeing - with advice from different people, conflicting opinions, and no one connecting the dots

So you:

Try a feeding plan, but your supply feels unpredictable
Read about sleep, but your baby only settles in your arms
Wonder why you feel off, even though you "should" be coping
Think: Why is this still so hard, even though I’m doing all the things?

Feeding, sleep, and your emotional wellbeing were never meant to be managed separately.

In Bloom™ is the only postpartum mentorship that weaves them together - so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling grounded in how you feed, soothe, and settle into life with your baby.

Support That Sees the Whole Picture

In Bloom is a premium postpartum mentorship created by Arnikka de Kort — Mother, Neonatal Nurse, Lactation Consultant IBCLC & Neurodevelopmental Care Practitioner (NDC).

It brings together breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, sleep, and emotional wellbeing into one integrated support system, so you can:

Feed your baby with confidence
Understand newborn sleep without guilt or rigid rules
Feel emotionally supported and seen

Because feeding, sleep, and emotional wellbeing are connected.

I’m Arnikka — IBCLC, Nurse, and Mother

I created this model of care because mothers and newborns deserve better than patchwork care.

In the first weeks after birth, you expect to manage feeding, understand your baby, sleep, and stay emotionally “together,” with different providers, conflicting advice and no one looking at the whole picture.

What I saw over and over again — in hospitals and homes — was this: Mothers weren’t failing. The system was. Yet mothers were always telling me they felt they had failed, didn’t have the confidence & constantly doubted their abilities. I recognised myself in their stories, so I decided to do something about it.

What you really need is clarity, continuity, and care that connects the dots and sees you and your baby as one interconnected system.

In Bloom is that care. Compassionate. Integrated. Evidence-based. Tailored to you and your baby.

You don’t have to do this in pieces anymore.

What Mothers are Saying

“Having Arnikka’s support before and after birth meant so much to me, especially in those raw, real, precious early weeks. She walked beside me in a way I didn’t know I needed.”
— Melissa Ambrosini

Hannah

After our first session, something shifted. I left feeling so much more grounded, simply from understanding what to expect and how to meet those early moments with confidence.

The In Bloom program helped me navigate the early weeks with more ease, not just in feeding and sleep, but in how I cared for myself too. It was such a supportive, tailored experience.”

“Your knowledge and your sensible approach meant so much to me. I never felt pressured — just supported, seen, and guided at my own pace.”
— Danijela,

Melissa Ambrosini shares a personal reflection on what it felt like to be supported during her second postpartum journey.

Shannon

“I’m so grateful for this program. I think without it, I would have felt alone. I truly looked forward to our chats each week - it felt safe, supportive, and like I could talk about anything.”
