I'm reading "no cry sleep solutions" at the moment, and one suggestion for getting longer naps is to wait for baby to get to the waking up point ( in your case about an hour after last feed) and BEFORE bubs is fully awake, resettle baby via rocking or whatever else works that isn't feeding. she says it takes about a week before bubs is used to longer sleeps. this advice was for naps during the day but might work at night too
at least its something different to try.

Has she ever gone to sleep without being fed to sleep? DS stopped feeding to sleep (feeding to sleep was never consistent, even from birth, but he stopped completely at about 9m) so we had to work on a new tactic, we started rocking in arms and patting, then we slowly moved to rocking/patting in the bed, now he goes down awake and is patted to sleep. He has other associations (or should have!) such as the routine and his sleep CD, but just needs patting off. He has started to re-settle pretty well sometimes, but other times he needs patting. I'd love for him to feed to sleep every time and us co-sleep! So much easier.
