Baby wakes up and cries hysterically

Hi Nanit Community,

I have a 2 month old boy and he has been waking up and started to cry uncontrollably with a high pitch voice. I’ve tried everything to stop the crying, including feeding, holding him, and calming him with music. He would persist for several minutes until I show him things that he likes, such as a toy or new scenery. Even though i have methods to calm him but I would like to know why he would cry the moment he wakes from a nap. Is this normal and have anyone else experienced something similar with their baby?
