He's still waking up in the middle of the night, and during the day he'll sleep for 10 minutes and then scream for 30. Suggestions?

I'm no parent but I have cared for many children and have a few suggestions depending on what your schedule and his schedule are.
If he's teething try using teething tablets… it will help soothe the pain and hence make it easier to sleep for longer periods of time.
Also, have you tried letting him stay up later than you normally do so he's more tired when you do try to put him to bed?
Good luck!
None that won't get the police involved. And ixnay and the later edtimebay. That just gives him more time to get riled up. If anything, try moving the bedtime up a little at a time.
Some babies are not good sleepers. You know those adults who thrive on three hours sleep? They were babies once.
I've never used teething tablets for fear the kids might choke. Do they dissolve quickly? I might as well have stock in Baby Orajel for the number of times I use it each week. We make sure that he's put down for the night with a dose of ibuprofen, too.
His bedtime could not be any earlier; otherwise he'd wake up at five ayem and Mommy is simply not prepared to face the world at that hour.
Maybe he just misses me? I'm not bragging there, he's a total mama's boy.
Who goes in to check on him when he wakes during the night? Mike was always able to say “it's bedtime” and get them to go back down. When I go in, they are gathering their belongings to travel to my bed. You know how those boys love their mommas:)

Last night, BK woke up at 10:00. Monstro changed his poopy diaper and gave him a bottle. I put him to sleep in the office (where his playpen is). Then, he woke up again at 1:45. I went in and changed his diaper, then shut the door. He screamed bloody murder. After a few minutes of that, Monstro went in and told him to calm down, which didn't really work. And then he left, and BK continued screaming, but instead of screaming for 45 minutes as expected, he only screamed for 10 and then went back to sleep.
We might be on to something here.
