No real advice but lots of hugs.  We are often plagued by 35 minute naps too.  For us they often mean J is stuck in an UT/OT loop, but I still haven't really figured them out.

You say you've been trying to increase A times.  How have you done that and what A times was your LO on before?  What prompted you to start increasing A times?

Hi lovelylilyandjack, my little one has always needed a higher a time to sleep. Increasing a time in the morning has allowed her to nap 1hr 15-20mins 98% of the time with the occasionally undertired nap when I put down too early.afternoon nap is another different story for about a month now or more she. Is happy with a long am and short pm and I figured that is what she wants and stop pursuing with increase pm a time to get a long pm nap.

Our old schedule used to be

Wu0600-0630 pu 0645
S 1000/1015- 1120-1140
A 3hr 30-3hr45
S30mins -40mins max
A time 3hr

But these three days her am nap has been short, always wake up after one sleep cycle I think she might be undertired,not too sure  but very scared to push a time but I think I might just hsve to bite the bullet and go ahead.

I tried to put her down early after a short nap this morning but she still only sleep one sleep cycle. So annoying which means I need to do early bedtime otherwise. Will have a meltdown at bedtime.

Now our schedule for e last three days

Don't know why? I think her top teeth r cutting thru but I medicate her still no effect :-(

Is she waking happy from that first nap? If so I'd be tempted to put her down 10-15 minutes later and see what happens.  If her nap shortens you know it's OT,  if it lengthens then UT?  At least then you know where you are.  I was always relieved in a way when L did a clear OT nap cos at least I knew where I was then!  We don't get many obvious ones from J cos he's lsn too but we get a LOT of 35-40 minute naps.  Like I say,  not really figured them out yet but an A increase often sorts them for us. I'm in a similar position to you in that I'm on the verge of giving up trying to lengthen our morning nap cos we're getting a good pm nap.  FWIW,  my 7.5 month old is currently doing a morning A of 3 hrs 45,  then a 35-40 minute nap,  then an A of 3 hrs 15,  then a 1.5 hr nap,  then 2 hrs 45-3 hrs til bed.
Anyway, that's what I'd do but I'm obviously no expert seeing as I'm having similar problems so would welcome thoughts from others too!

Also,  have you seen this?  I know your DD isn't doing any of the things mentioned in the thread but it could still be 2-1 stuff starting? 

10/11 month old sleep gone wonky? Read this first!

If so, again the solution would be to gently push that first A I believe. ..
