BREASTFEEDING EMOJI! CAN I GET A HELL YEASSSSSSS!!!

This Article Via People.com -- Nursing mothers rejoice – there may soon be a “breastfeeding” emoji.

The addition of a breastfeeding woman emoji was requested by registered nurse Rachel Lee last month in a proposal she submitted to Unicode, the creator of the emoji keyboard.

“I propose adding an emoji for breastfeeding as a complement to the existing baby bottle emoji, and to complete the set of family emojis,” writes Lee. “The lack of a breastfeeding emoji represents a gap in the Unicode Standard given the prevalence of breastfeeding in cultures around the world, and throughout history.”

She has even submitted an idea for the design, which features a woman holding a baby in a “cradle hold” while the baby feeds from an exposed breast.

Lee is confident her emoji suggestion would be a popular one.

“Three million mothers participate in the activity of breastfeeding in the United States at any given time,” she says. “By comparison, activities such as hockey [which has its own emoji] see 67,230 women participating annually in the United States.”

“Breastfeeding occurs at all hours of the the day and night, and text communication is frequently used during these times,” she continues. “This emoji is likely to be used in context for a message such as, ‘Up at 3 a.m. with baby [breastfeeding emoji].'”

Lee also cites an Emojipedia survey that states that “breastfeeding” was one of the top 30 emojis requested in 2016.
