Does your ob-gyn know that you are still breast feeding? Last I heard, yasmin was not usually recommended for mothers who are still breast feeding. I believe one problem was that it depletes her milk supply, potentially taking essential nutrients from the baby. Hopefully someone else here will know more about it. If not, I would certainly ask your ob-gyn more about it.
