Default Yelping and crying when left alone!!!

Ok guys I really need your help. I have an 8 week old puppy who I have had for just over a week. He is a serious howler when left alone. He has a long term confinement area in the kitchen aswell as a short term crate which is where his bed is.

My problem is that at night when I put him into his bed and shut the kitchen door he barks and whines, he also then starts up periodically throughout the night. He will also go crazy in the morning.

I am ignoring him and not giving the attention any behaviour but as we live in a small house his yelping is REALLY loud. It's keeping me up at night and is disturbing my little boys sleep (he's one). Also in the morning I need to get into the kitchen to get my babys bottle but as the dog is screaming his head off I can't go in. He goes on for hours so if I wait for him to stop I'd never get ready in time for work! Also my LO is not going to wait for his milk! Its really starting to get me down and I'm not sure how to stop the behaviour.

Any help would be much appreciated.
