First Latch Ready

Hi, I’m Clara O’Rourke (she/her), doula and mindfulness-based childbirth educator. Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of families as they welcome their babies. I’ve seen two very different beginnings:

Some parents walk into feeding with calm confidence and a baby who latches with ease. Others spend their first days exhausted, sore, and Googling at 2 a.m., trying to figure out the basics.

The difference isn’t luck—it’s preparation.

So many people devote months to planning their birth yet wait until after delivery to think about feeding. Believe me, you don’t want to be learning the fundamentals when you’re tired after the marathon of labor.

That’s why I created First-Latch Ready—to give you the skills and confidence before birth, when you have the energy and focus to absorb them.

I can’t wait to guide you toward a peaceful, confident start.

Inclusive, Evidence-Based Approach: Whether you plan to breastfeed, chestfeed, or combine feeding methods, you’ll get practical strategies supported by the latest lactation science and respectful of every family structure.

Bite-Sized, Self-Paced Lessons: Busy schedule? No problem. The entire course can be completed in under two hours, with short videos and printable guides you can revisit anytime.

Prenatal Timing for Real Confidence: Most feeding classes are offered after birth or buried inside a general childbirth class. First-Latch Ready is designed to be taken before labor, giving you time to practice and build true muscle memory—so you’re not learning while exhausted. If you're finding this after you gave birth, don't worry, this will still be so helpful!
