Since the day I brought him home he screamed nonstop. Had jaundice. Then when he was a little over a month old the drs said he had colic. But when i say he screamed nonstop im not exaggerating. he has been on 4 different formulas by now (9months). He still spits up quite a bit, has gas alot, and is just so unbelievable fussy. just these past 2 weeks he has started crawling. Doesn't help at all. He will move some and start whining. Doesn't want to play with his toys anymore for very long periods of time. Is even fussy when i hold him but always wants me to hold him. doesn't sleep good. don't get me wrong, he has his happy moments where he will play and babble and scream in a good way. He likes his walker. but i feel like something is wrong with him or ive done something wrong. the drs never say anything about his fussiness when i mention it. ive had him checked for ear infections. i know teething is a big part of it but i just don't know to explain him to you. it is so hard to keep him happy. i think he is bored with his toys so i just find random things in the house thats safe for him. i am a single mother and im embarrassed to say i can't afford to buy him toys right now. or is it something im doing? this pregnancy was not planned but i still love him more than life. but i am miserable with my life(not because of him) and working on changing it. So is it me? my depression affecting him? its hard to sit and play or talk to him because he loses interest so fast or gets mad. when hes happy its so cute its unreal i love it i just wish i could see him like that more. please help me make my baby boy happy. i feel like an awful mother something just doesn't seem right. like i said, he has his good moods. they are just very short lived.

First off, you're not a terrible mother. have you tried taking him outside or to a park? Maybe you could get him a puppy? My mum went throught the same thing with my little brother, but as soon as she got us a puppy, we were occupied all day. Maybe try that? Good Luck. :)
I can't have pets where I am living. And yeah he likes being outside I used to take him in his stroller around the neighborhood everyday but now on cold days I don't. Thank you very much for your suggestion though. I appreciate your help
