NCSS - still can't self-settle, please help!

I've been trying to follow NCSS (with a view to solving DD's two hourly night waking) without much success Sad

The key to it seems to be putting baby down sleepy, but not completely conked out, at bedtime.

My problem is that DD (7 and a half months) falls asleep during the last breastfeed and is totally unconscious when I put her down.

Our bedtime goes:

6.30 bath
6.45 massage
6.50 breast feed
7.00 asleep on lap, transfer to cot.

The book says I must feed till sleepy but DD falls asleep in about 10 secs and has the feed in her sleep iyswim.

My question is: should I be moving bed time or the time of the last breast feed? Both are very scary options as I look forward all day to 7pm as she reliably goes off (but then wakes again at 9pm - arrgghh!!)

Just posted an epic post about DD & sleep, but we also have the problem of DD sleep feeding. No idea what to do, but interested in responses!
