Addressing breastfeeding barriers among mothers with gestational diabetes requires targeted education, social support, and attention to professional challenges.

Strengthening post-discharge support and inter-facility collaboration is essential. Future longitudinal and qualitative research should integrate cultural and psychosocial dimensions into evidence-based practices.
