The woman - who cannot be named to protect the identity of the baby - pleaded not guilty to recklessly endangering serious harm to the child in Darwin Magistrates Court on Friday.
It is alleged she was drunk and had been arguing with her partner when she threw the baby.
In a police interview played to the court, she said she was "wild" with her partner and wanted to go home when she "dropped" the baby.
She was arrested a short time later.
The woman's hearing will continue in June.
