Nap and sleep schedules

So I’ve always read that the better a baby naps during the day the better she will sleep at night. My LO can’t be told to sleep, she falls asleep when she wants and I do my best to keep it on a schedule. Luckily, our bedtime routine is consistent and she always falls asleep between 7-8p.

So, two days ago she only napped a total of an hour all day, no matter how many times I tried to put her down. And I was so worried for the night, I figured she’d sleep terrible from exhaustion.

Nope. She slept through the night (7p-630a) only waking once at 130a for a bottle. Then, yesterday she napped for 5 hours total. I’m guessing because she was so tired from not napping the day before lol. But she slept like garbage, woke up for two bottles and multiple other times just to fuss and then was wide awake from 330-5a until I finally said screw it and brought her in my bed because I needed some sleep.

What is y’all’s experience with naps and sleep correlation?
