When mine were little, I would put them in the crate while I was cleaning and put on classical music. They could see me and I would talk to them while I was doing my work. Eventually, I started going in to another room and coming back after a few minutes. I started slowly increasing my time away (in 5 minute increments). Now, my dogs get in the crate and fall asleep as soon as they hear the classical music start.
Your baby is young and misses being with his mom and litter mates. It might help if you give him a t-shirt or other clothing item you've worn so he can have your scent while you step away.
Good luck.
