She had earlier written a suicide note, according to court documents.
The baby was airlifted to hospital where she died.
Magistrate Donna Bakos granted Arbuckle bail to reappear before the Victorian Supreme Court for a directions hearing on December 21.
"This is an extraordinarily tragic event and it's tragic for many, many people," Ms Bakos said.
