He's very young, I would try a more nurturing approach to help ease his fears or sadness. Something is up, and he needs help calming down...maybe he needs to rebuild trust, or is going through a severe separation anxiety phase. How long has this been going on for? It seems like maybe only for a few days? But I can feel your stress, so something has to give. In order to secure trust and a bond with one of my dc babies was to hold her...as often as I could, all day in some cases even if I was just sitting on the floor. And if I couldn't hold her, I would wear her in my boba wrap. She needed that extra closeness, and loved the security of the wrap. After a week or so she began to slowly venture out to play with toys, knowing I wasn't going anywhere on her, and she has since been a dream dck!
Maybe try coming at it from an empathetic angle and see if any progress is made over a week...if no progress...time to go
