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? Thanks!

I have found that if my son wakes up crying it means he needs more sleep. In our case, I replace his pacifier and rub his head and he usually goes back to sleep. My baby only sleeps short periods typically (30-40 minutes for naps) though. Is this happening when your son wakes up from a long nap?
