5 month old sleeping issues and book recommendation question

rachelle2824

I have 5 month old twins- J sleeps in a rock and play sleeper and has always slept alone and through the night since 8 weeks. K started sleeping with me around 6 weeks and only wakes up once to nurse in the night. During the day K will sleep alone but only in the swing. As they are growing and gaining weight I am starting to stress over what will happen when K outgrows the swing.

What WILL happen when K outgrows the swing? Does a baby just hit a point where they don't need it anymore and it won't be an issue to transition? 

I've read "The Attachment Parenting Book.." by Dr.Sears and feel (much like someone else on here mentioned) that it's mostly selling attachment parenting and why it's the best for a baby. I get all that but I'm now looking for a book that really deals with some problem solving in an AP approach. Any recommendations? 

Thank you ladies!!!

No-Cry Sleep Solution (and all the other No Cry books) have a more "you could try this" content.  I'm not sticking strictly to her stuff, but I'm not a strictly AP parent. She does have some helpful ideas.

My son slept in a swing for naps until he was 1! And then one day he pointed to the crib and that was that. He slept in a crib at night by 9 months. Just wanted to know your not alone. My daughter on the other hand hates the swing

I just started this book in preparation for LO's arrival, and so far it seems to make a lot of sense. Obviously I can't recommend it from experience yet, but it was rated very well on Amazon, and Dr. Sears also wrote the intro and gave it his seal of approval.
