PLEASE HELP - My baby is screaming his head off and wont stop :'(?
If it matters he is 6 weeks old also.Agreed - letting them scream does not teach them anything, they are too young.
Have you tried lying down and have him sleep on your chest/stomach? This worked a treat for my baby (who is only 4 months old now) and he tended to sleep for longer too. For my daughter I use to lie on my back bring my knees to my chest and lie her on my shins (sounds weird I know) and bounce (gently) my legs. She loved it! And, it worked.
With the gas/wind thing, my mum taught me a trick......if they are white around the mouth, they have wind. Push his knees to his chest repeatedly.
Good luck, don't stress and sleep when baby sleeps.

my baby screamed all day yesterday I didnt know what to do,
my health visitor was there when he was like this and she told me it was colic, and to give him gripe water at every feed to move the gas bubbles in his tummy I also held him across one arm with my hand over his tummy and rocked him, he is more settled today still a bit gassy but getting it up and down, my baby is 6 weeks also
oh also before a feed to rub his tummy in a down ward motion for 6 times then gently push his knees up to his tummy, then 6 times in a clock wards movement rub around his tummy then again push his legs to his tummy, this is also ment to move the gas bubbles, hope this helps

Is he tired and want his nap? Try cuddling him... some baby just wan to be cuddle. You can sing to him or recite some prayer to him... Oh yes, try rubbing some oil on the tummy, it will help him to release the gas from his tummy.
I am also not someone who would let baby cry it out, it is very frustrating and heartbreaking to hear my baby screaming his head off...
Hope I have help in some way....

Get off the computer and comfort him!
-Rock him.
-Drive him around.
-White noise: vacuum, dishwasher...
-Put him in his car seat and put him on top of the dryer. Just keep him under close supervision.
-Put him in a swing or bouncer.
-Give him a binky.
He might have colic or gas.
Try gas drops or gripe water.
Or talk to your doctor to see if he can suggest anything.
