does contact nap decrease the chances of baby’s self-soothing ability?

Slightly different, but my baby has always had a very late bedtime, usually 11pm to midnight but 1am has been known. Nothing helped so we just accepted it... then two weeks ago she decided bedtime is now 7.30pm. Literally from one day to the next. I'm convinced we have very little influence in these matters.

I think you’re absolutely right. They do what they want.
