Well yeah. I think they had a wet nurse there because Lyanna wasn't supposed to live long enough to nurse the baby herself.

(maybe enter Wylla from stage left?)

we know that Lyanna wasnt alone in that tower from:

"They had found him (Ned) still holding her (Lyanna's) body, silent with grief." — pg. 44

the story we get tells us that the only 3 people still alive were Lyanna, Ned, and Howland. if "they" had found Ned holding Lyanna after she passed, then there's a missing person as "they" implies plural and Howland (based on the info we have) would have been by himself.

the wet nurse theory fits simply because with Lyanna that close to having a baby (Rhaegar's baby no less), you would make sure the wet nurse was in place before Rhaegar rode off to the Trident.
