how does baby's daytime nap schedule impact nighttime sleep?

This depends on your baby’s developmental age, sleep needs, and your expected bedtime. Generally. new borns need between 14 to 17 hours of sleep, and older infants (4 - 11 months) need about 12 to 15 hours of sleep a day. This includes daytime naps, especially for newborns as they rarely sleep through the night. If you notice that your baby (above 4 months old), is having difficulties falling sleeping at night, but sleeps well otherwise, you could try encouraging an earlier nap to help your child build sleep pressure for your desired bed time. You could either experiment around to find a napping schedule, or obtain professional help to develop a bedtime fading strategy. Bedtime fading is an evidence-based intervention programme that can be helpful to help your baby build sufficient sleep pressure for nap times.
