9week old wont settle

My 9 week old baby is ff. He struggled to sleep/nap during the day, but at night settles well after his last feed (any time between 6 and 7.30) until about 1.30 am. I feed him then and he might sleep for another hour or so and then he just seems to want to get up.

If I rock his crib he just grumbles off and on until about 4/5am but then he screams. I have tried feeding him but he doesn't seem interested, and picking him up and soothing him but this doesn't work either. He doesn't seem particularly hungry, even if I hold off feeding him till about 5.30am.

The only thing that stops him crying is coming down stairs, lights on and getting played with.

I'm really only getting about 3 hours sleep a night. I go to bed as early as I can, but find it hard to fall asleep. I can never get back to sleep after the 1.30 feed because he is so unsettled.

Is there anything I can do to make this better? Or just any hope that it might pass soon?
