Every night

Syd
My 8 wk old is a crying, screaming, clawing mess every night. He is basically inconsolable. Doesn't want to nurse, or play, or swing, gas drops haven't helped. I feel bad for him. I hold him and try to calm him while he cries it out. I know he could be worse, by some of the colic stories I've heard... After about an hour and a half to 2 hours of it, he's back to normal! What can I do to help him that I haven't tried? Anyone else going through this?
