In November 2015, the Unicode Consortium approved 51 new emoji’s, and breastfeeding is one, according to Forbes.

Based on requests and popular demand, the Unicode Consortium decides which emojis will be available for mobile devices, laptops, desktops and wearables.

Interventions or policies aimed at improving breastfeeding rates among Latina mothers may be critical to promoting physical and mental health; however, Latina moms often face social, political, environmental, and cultural barriers to reach their own breastfeeding goals.

In order to build a culture of health it is critical to support breastfeeding and empower women to live healthier lives.

The emoji should be available in 2017.
