It will take a few days, if not a couple weeks, probably. I would not hold him. If possible, I would set him up a pack in play in a room that you can shut the door. I would go on with my day. If you put him in the high chair to eat and he cries, give him a few minutes, if he doesn't stop, put him in the pack in play and shut the door, my theory, he must be tired and if need be can cry himself to sleep. I would try some different things, sit in high chair and play wityh other kids around. Play in pack in play in room with other kids around, if cries, put in room to cry. I had a child like this, he cried a lot at first. I did not hold him, I left him be around the other kids, when he cried, I put him in his pack in play and shut the door. It did not take long for him to change his tone here. Good luck. It will take a little time, but can be done.
