what are lactnetters' current recommendations for specific quick & easy articles/references/websites/etc that explain to "sleep deprived" new parents why babies aren't "supposed to" sleep "through the night" and that babies don't have "sleep issues" or "sleep problems" but that the issue/problem might be the parents' or society's unrealistic expectations ? *preferably not books that parents might not have time, energy, desire, to read*

I've already pointed the parents to james mckenna, kellymom, etc. 
the parents are getting so many recommendations from friends/family about sleep "training" & methods and schedules that I want to scream "just put the baby in the bed with you, let him nurse all night!!"

thanks, 
vicki hayes rn ibclc in brunswick ga, who is quite well rested since my 3-yr-old "still" nurses to sleep, sleeps with me, and snacks during the night at the open-all-night, all-you-can-eat buffett :-)
