ot or ut?

What does sleeping for 55 mins mean? OT, UT or just plain tired?

How old is your LO?  Really it could mean anything.  If you post your LO age and routine we can make a better assessment :)

Today he woke at 6.50 am and I put him in bed next to me and we had a little cuddle and a whispered chat. We then got up and I did a nappy change then he sat in his chair while I washed bottles and set steraliser. We then got DS1 up as he was over sleeping for school. DS1 said hello to him etc and is a bit full on but loves him very much. We then has milk as he won't drink it when he first gets up. We went upstairs at 8.15 am and did some gentle walking and then sat in chair and had a whispered story. He was in the cot and asleep at 8.50 am but still woke after 30 mins and couldn't get back off to sleep but when I picked him up he then went back to sleep and slept until 11.10 am. He is now asleep again, upstairs at 12.30 and asleep at 12.50 pm. I am betting on 30 mins again. What am I doing wrong? He is 19 weeks and 15 weeks ajusted.

Judging by your day I would suspect UT.  Most 4-5 mth olds are doing 2 hrs+ A time.

However, lots of kids literally need to be taught how to nap.  Do you suspect he's having trouble with transitions?  Is he waking happy at that 30 min mark?  Have his naps ever been longer?

Yes were longer at the beginning and did an hour one last weekend as well. Have dropped his activity time back as seemed that I was making him ot. I thought I would get 45 mins if ut?
He is 19 weeks but 15 weeks ajusted and that is mixing me up as well.

Dizzy I see you have a few threads on in Naps, I am going to lock and link this one to your other post http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=219829.msg2352419#msg2352419 as it looks like your LOs nap problems are related to uncontrolled reflux rather than A times.
