Awake all night... again...

My 6 week old has woken up every hour, on the hour. All night. AGAIN. This is becoming our new normal. No wonder he's cranky all day, he's completely sleep-deprived, as am I. He sleeps fine in my arms, but the second I try to put him down, he flies into a meltdown. I'm on the verge of an absolute breakdown. Should I call the pediatrician? Wait it out? Try to sleep-train to re-set these bad habits? This is not normal!!!!!!
