He's a newborn, it's perfectly normal.

It's tough isn't it. My 10 week old has done the same. I had forgotten how I disliked this stage - in that every day is different and you don't know what to expect. At least with the 18 month old it's predictable. As you can tell I love a routine!
No advice but it's normal and keep going Smile

I’ve got an 8 week old who has also became very fussy I’ve the last 3-4 days, was very content up until now. Thankfully she is still sleeping 4 hour stretches but during the day she is basically crying unless held. It’s tough but I keep reminding myself it will pass. Could be a growth spurt so is genuinely more hungry. Hang in there
