They got so much right with the breastfeeding emoji—but especially this
This emoji ads flair to text conversations while changing the conversation about breastfeeding.

The gestation period was long, but thanks to the iOS 11.1 update we are finally welcoming the breastfeeding emoji. The digital symbol was born this week, one year after the pregnant person emoji changed the way we text.
It may not seem like it, but this new breastfeeding emoji is a big deal. It wasn't created just to add flair to digital conversations, but also to change the whole conversation about breastfeeding. Adding this emoji to the deck normalizes nursing, so we're so glad to see the folks at Apple got it right. They scrapped an early version that featured a headless mom (um, good, we're not just breasts) and the final product features a smiling, emoji mom demonstrating a perfect cradle hold.
