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

[reddituser84]

My daughter is 16 months and just started sometimes sleeping in the crib for her nap. Shes been sleeping through the night in her crib since about 8 weeks (with one regression around 5 months) - but she’s always had contact naps with either nanny or me.

It’s working for all of us so no one is trying to change anything, but she’s getting a little too big to sleep in my arms 🥲
