Person Feeding Baby 🧑‍🍼

A gender-neutral figure holds and bottle-feeds a baby, representing caregiving in its most inclusive form. The design uses a non-gendered body shape, allowing anyone—regardless of how they identify—to see themselves reflected in the role of caregiver.

This serves parents, guardians, and caregivers of all genders, making it invaluable for non-binary people, transgender parents, and anyone who doesn't identify with strictly male or female representations. People use it in conversations about parenting, childcare, adoption, guardianship, and family diversity where gender-specific emoji might feel excluding or inaccurate.

The person-feeding-baby emoji is part of a broader movement toward gender-neutral options across the emoji keyboard, ensuring that important life experiences and roles aren't locked behind binary representations. It's especially meaningful in progressive communities, LGBTQ+ family discussions, and professional contexts where inclusive language matters.

Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 13.0 in 2020, this emoji was developed simultaneously with the man and woman versions, giving users multiple options to choose the representation that best fits their identity and family structure.
