Minister Seethakka Promotes Breastfeeding as First Vaccine

Seethakka, a minister in Telangana, told people that a baby's first vaccine is its mother's milk.

She said babies should start breastfeeding within an hour of birth and should be fed only breast milk for the first six months.

She wants everyone to know how good breastfeeding is and to stop wrong ideas about it.

This message is part of World Breastfeeding Week, which is celebrated from August 1 to 7.

Officials will spread this message to all households in the state.

The goal is to make children healthy and help the whole society care for babies.

Breastfeeding is seen as a simple, natural way to protect babies from sickness.

The minister hopes that by sharing this message, more families will choose to breastfeed.

This will help babies grow strong and healthy.

The event is a big public health effort in Telangana.
