No more nursing

I was so stressed the first couple days we were here. I was having a hard time with nursing. I was drinking over a gallon a day and using lanolin cream. So I got a lactation specialist to come by. She said she thought I had a yeast infection and that because of stress I had lost my milk. She thought that Lilly was starving. They got us a formula and she drank 5 to 8 bottles the first day. She's right back to being the sweet little baby she has always been, poor thing. Pumping I could only get about 6 ounces a day. I'm so sad because I love nursing. But I'm sure it is meant to be because she will probably have to stay with dad for a bit when every thing gets crazy.
