What 🤱🏾 means
The breast-feeding emoji has a calm, caring tone. It is used literally by parents talking about feeding a baby, and more widely for new motherhood, maternity leave and baby care. It is common in parenting groups, posts about World Breastfeeding Week in early August, and messages to new mothers. It is not used as slang. It focuses on the bond between parent and baby and on nursing specifically.
In texting
Parents send it to explain they are busy feeding the baby and will reply later. It is practical and not romantic in any way.
