Woman Feeding Baby 👩‍🍼

This shows a woman with a bottle, feeding a baby in her arms—a tender scene of caregiving and nurturing. The bottle is clearly visible, distinguishing this from breastfeeding, and the design emphasizes the close bond between caregiver and infant.

People use this to represent bottle-feeding, formula feeding, and general infant care. It's commonly seen in parenting discussions, daycare contexts, and conversations about different feeding methods and family choices. Unlike the breastfeeding emoji, this one includes the bottle explicitly, making it useful when specifically discussing bottle-feeding rather than nursing.

The emoji is especially valuable for depicting caregivers who bottle-feed by choice, circumstance, or necessity—whether parents using formula, adoptive families, or caregivers in institutional settings. It normalizes all feeding methods and recognizes that parents and caregivers have diverse approaches to nourishing infants.

Introduced with Unicode Emoji 13.0 in 2020, this addition reflected demand for more inclusive representation of parenting diversity. The ZWJ (zero-width joiner) sequence construction allows it to work across platforms while maintaining consistent meaning and appearance.
