I barely slept last night, got a few hours of shut eye this morning when @itsapril took over. He's screaming cold blooded murder until I take him outside in the 90° heat on a walk. Then he's fine!
Until I get home, and now he's screaming again. I can't sleep, I can't get things done around the house, he doesn't want food, his diaper is clean, he doesn't want to be on his back, his tummy, sitting up, upside down, he's just screaming and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm supposed to stream tonight at 7, but I haven't done any prep work for that, either. @itsapril was with him since 3 this morning, so she just up and collapsed about an hour ago.
I don't know what to do...

I hear the first few years are the most sleepless for parents. Hope it gets better over time.

Welcome to father hood bud. Our daughter would scream bloody murder for 6 hours a night straight, for three weeks! It sucked. I’ve found distraction is the best method, but sometimes they just wanna scream man. Hope he calms down soon for ya!

Yeah, it's just rough. You want to help them, but nothing works...

Hang in there buddy. It will get better.
Likely he's just adjusting to his new world.
Imagine your whole entire life spend inside a warm snug blanket, with the sounds of your mother's heart always right there.
All of a sudden you are out in vast emptiness of nothing.
Maybe see if he likes being wrapped tightly in a blanket. Some babies respond very well to that simulated "womb" .
My son was impossible to get to sleep.
Finally we got a sort of hammock extended from a spring, that can bob and swing gently.
That calmed him down.
I think the baby needs to be a bit older than 2 weeks, but they are called Nature's Sway. If you want to look them up.
And also: forget streaming 🙂
Your life is changed forever now, and if there isn't time for streaming, so be it.
Of course, remember to also take breaks from the screaming and support each other.
If you want to spend your "off" time streaming, go ahead.

Been there before and I sympathize with you. It does get better. I forget how old your little one is, but if you give him any dairy try cutting it out. Our daughter would cry uncontrollable and get sick. We cut dairy out of her diet and she was peach going forward. Hang in there!

He turned two weeks today. So very young. He's currently on Mom's milk right now.
