Help! How do I soothe my 1-month-old's nonstop crying from 8pm-3am?

Our baby has been crying nonstop from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. for the past week. Nothing helps—burping, diaper changes, rocking, feeding. I’m frustrated, angry, and I have no idea what to do. Thanks everyone! The biggest piece of info I left out: she’s 1 month old and breastfed. I posted mainly because my wife has appointments with counselors and specialists, but I didn’t know what resources are available for me. I know dads can struggle too, but I feel wea k about it. Quick update: after the doctor’s appointment they gave us an antacid medication for the baby. Since then she’s been a sweet angel. Thank you all for your support. I finally got some sleep, and so did the baby!

Gripe water or gas drops. We use gripe water regularly. Good luck!! Prayers!!

I try to attend appointments with her and openly share my struggle, hoping they might offer support for me too. My wife has state insurance, and through that I've received support and counseling whenever I needed it, even though I'm not even on that insurance.

White noise has been a real lifesaver for us. I’m honestly sharing that one of my daughters literally needed the sound of a hair dryer just to feel calm.
