A new batch of emojis is coming soon — and they include a breastfeeding mom
There's also a zombie, a wizard, and a woman wearing a hijab
March 24, 2017
Emoji Version 5.0 is scheduled for release June 30, and breastfeeding moms will be able to let their friends and loved ones know what their day has been all about, with a single tap of a finger.
Here's hoping this welcome addition goes some way to reducing the stigma around images of breastfeeding.
This latest batch of emojis includes several other relatable image for parents. The zombie emoji might come in handy when you’re trying to function on Day Five without sleep. The wizard emoji is for those days when you succeed in calming your toddler down mid-grocery-store meltdown. (You’re the Harry Potter of tantrum taming; you know it, we know it, and the world should know it.) And the woman-wearing-a-hijab emoji is finally on the way.
What's next? How about a bottle-feeding or milk-pumping emoji – or both – so all new moms feel the love, no matter how they feed their little ones.
