Inclusion Criteria

* Lactating females, ≥ 18.0 years of age, at the time of enrollment

This applies only to healthy controls or women with sickle cell who are not already taking hydroxyurea. Women with sickle cell already taking hydroxyurea may continue to breastfeed their infants.

Exclusion Criteria

* Persons with known allergies to hydroxyurea
