  It's bloody awful of your health visitor not to help you!!! Have you tried expressing milk and feeding lo that way but apparently its better to get someone else to do most of the first feeds with a bottle because otherwise lo knows your breast is there and wants it. Do you still have your midwife's number? I bet she would help you if your hv isn't.

  I used the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles when I was stopping breastfeeding (at 9 weeks). I also got my OH to feed my lo to get him used to milk coming from other people. I gradually cut out breast feeds over 2 weeks and expressed a little if I was getting sore. It took him a couple of feeds to get used to it but after that he had no problems.
  
  Good luck with the weaning.
