A few months ago we announced that breastfeeding mothers would soon have their own emoji, something that had already been claimed for a long time since there is a bottle emoticon but not the most natural way to feed a baby.
One of the things that was criticized of the previous design is that it had no head, but it seems that the complaints were received and finally we chose this, which would be The new emoji for nursing mothers. If you do not suffer modifications, so it will be on our keyboards next June 30th with the next update of Android O and iOS 11.
In addition to the breastfeeding mother, new faces, characters and objects, as well as animals and food, can also be found among the new emojis. From a woman with a hijab, an emoji with a gender neutral, a hipster, to a vomiting face, a mermaid and other magical characters.
They will be in total 51 new items that will be part of version 5.0 of Emojipedia. Breastfeeding has been proposed by Rachel Lee, a registered nurse at the University College of the London Hospital.
He asked Unicode, the organization that oversees the creation of emoji, to include an icon that represents this way of feeding the baby. With this he intended "to fill a gap in the current norm that omits the most popular form of nutrition for newborn babies."
The idea was well received and is already part of the next update, although they may not be the final emojis, as they pointed out, although breastfeeding seems not to be modified. A mystery that will be revealed on June 30.
