The man behind the icon, Gilbert Baker, joined q guest host Talia Schlanger on Friday to share six things you may not know about the six-colour flag. With the help of several members of the Grove Street gay community centre in San Francisco, Baker hand-stitched and hand-dyed the very first rainbow flag in 1978.
Feed your newborn on demand. Most newborns need eight to 12 feedings a day â about one feeding every two to three hours. Look for early signs of hunger, such as stirring and stretching, sucking motions and lip movements. Fussing and crying are later cues.
Also, most babies need to breastfeed at least 8 times every 24 hours, although in the early weeks it is rarely at regular intervals. Newborns tend to cluster nurse, meaning they tend to bunch their feedings together at certain times of the day (often evenings) and take one longer sleep stretch of about 4 to 5 hours.
