Could it be too hot/too cold? Sometimes when my baby gets inconsolable like this we have a multicoloured disco light that projects rotating colours on the walls we turn on and that entrances him and he quietens!

Trapped gas?

My little one passes out as soon as we go out in the pram. Do you have a sling?

If you’ve excluded everything, then it might be witching hour. Not sure if his tummy hurts since he’s kicking his legs like that. Try some skin to skin, let him snuggle in your chest, try some low humming see if that soothes him. Maybe bounce on a birth ball if you still have it. Some babies like the tiger hold (have a look online).
Another thing to check for are hair knots wrapped around baby’s fingers or toes.
Witching hour makes them more upset, however they should be able to settle, and not be inconsolable. I’d look into something else that might be wrong.

My first used to do this, I could never work out what it was exactly. In the end I put it down to overtired + overstimulated at the end of the day. Sorry you're going through this - its the hardest phase. My baby used to cry like this for hours then pass out from exhaustion 😫

Could he be picking up on a routine? Do you usually take him to sleep around that time? When my LO gets like this its usually because he is over tired and over stimulated. So I take him to bed, make it dark with a night light and sing to him. Once he is calm, I offer the breast for comfort or a dummy. When he is screaming like that he refuses everything till I can calm him down. Its tough knowing what they want but its usually eliminating things. Hunger, dry nappy, gas or wind, over stimulated. Good luck mamma!
