Baby screams when wake up

My baby is mostly very calm - doesn't cry much, is easy to soothe and is a pretty good sleeper during naps and night times. The only part I'm confused is he screamsssss with his eyes still closed when he is about to wake up at 7am. - I've tried to massage him and doesn't seem like gas - I hug and rock in case he cannot connect his sleep cycles, but cannot be soothed - doesn't seem to be hunger because he usually can't really finish a feed. BUT drinking milk seems to immediately calm him down. Was wondering if anybody experienced or is experiencing the same and have any idea why this is happening? What can I do?

For my 4mo, screaming awake is almost always hunger. Even though his appetite varies. Much smaller in the day, bigger at night. If you say milk soothes your bb, seems like you found what he needs.

Thank you for the reassurance 🥹

For my 17mo, it’s a phase that comes and goes. Nothing can be done other than giving my lo a pacifier and gentle patting.
