Purpose of this Study
This study is for breastfeeding women who are taking certain medicines as part of their regular medical care and for their breastfed babies. Participants may choose to provide samples of breast milk, blood from the mother, and blood from the baby. Researchers will use these samples to learn how these medicines move into breast milk and how much of the medicine may reach the baby during breastfeeding. The goal is to help doctors better understand the safety of these medicines for breastfeeding families.

Description
This study is for breastfeeding women who are taking certain medicines as part of their regular medical care and for their breastfed babies. Participants may provide samples of breast milk, blood from the mother, and blood from the baby.
Researchers want to learn how medicines move from a mother's body into breast milk and how much medicine may reach the baby. The goal is to better understand the safety, dosing, and effects of these medicines during breastfeeding and to help doctors make better treatment recommendations for breastfeeding families in the future.
