Brief Answer:
It can be abdominal pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Babies often cry at night and it doesn't necessarily indicate that something is going wrong.
Possibly he is sleeping more during the day and cries at night.
Has he been feeding normally?
Has he had normal bowel movements?
Has he been sleeping more during day?
Check his body temperature also.
Babies at this age often cry because of gas causing abdominal pain.
Massaging, putting warm compresses , gagging after breastfeeding may help relieve gas .

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
