Doctors in a town called Mahabubnagar held a special lesson for mothers about why breastfeeding is important.

The lesson was part of a world event called World Breastfeeding Week.

A doctor named Dr Shekhar talked to the mothers about breast milk.

He said breast milk is the best food for a new baby.

It helps babies grow strong and healthy.

It also protects babies from getting sick.

Breastfeeding is good for mothers too, because it helps them recover faster after giving birth.

The doctor said mothers should breastfeed their babies for the first six months.

After that, they can slowly add other healthy foods while still breastfeeding.

The mothers asked questions and talked with the doctors to understand more.
