I would take him out for walks in his stroller in the vain hope of getting him to go back to sleep. Grace went absolutely mad at me for 'putting both of our lives at risk'.
Thank God for mother-in-law as she had him for several nights to let us catch up on our own sleep.
On the return he took a few days to get back into his normal routine but it was the routine that helped. That and his child-minder.
I sincerely wish you the very best with dealing with this.
Goodness knows why we're putting ourselves through it again in a few months.
