Walk away...even if its only for five mins...my first cried 24 hrs a day 7 days a week until 11 mnths...I loved my baby but there were days I really thought I was going to lose it....I found laying him some where I knew he was safe and.just standing in the front yard for a few mins helped me clear my.head...many days I would just hold him and cry with him, because nothing else worked....crazy as this sounds, he loved the sound of the dryer...we have a laundry room on the main level and there are many times he would sleep in his car seat in the laundry room with the dryer running (if you don't know what a colic baby is like...don't judge lol) I pray it gets better for you!!!
@Caroline8_p both, I think I changed his formula 3 times. @coltensmamma I know how a colic baby is lol. I let him cry sometimes, he get so red in the face and he have a cry of pain. I feel so sorry for my baby: ( @blessedtxmom I have one but it don't help.
This will sound crazy, but it works.... Swing him back and forth in your arms like really dramatically, almost like you're playing airplane or something with a toddler. Then say "Shhhhh" like REALLY loud over and over. I know it sounds weird and looks crazy, but I swear it works. I hope that made sense...people think you have to be so gentle and easy with babies, but sometimes doing the rocking and shushing a little more dramatically makes a difference. Now...I'm not talking shaken baby syndrome here haha, but hopefully you get the idea. Somehow it soothes them. You might have to do it for like 5 minutes straight.
When nothing will console my little girl wraping a blanket around me and covering her up with her head on my chest and out of the blanket works she loves to snuggle so we sit down wraped iin a blanket and I sing to her. Her swing works as well with classical music playing
Try drawing a warm bath and get in it with him. I use to do this with my son and it seemed go sooth him and it also would push the air out of his belly while he was in the water up to his shoulders.
I would be careful about the continued formula change, as switching it so much can really upset baby's belly and cause more colic. Give a formula a bit more time to become adjusted to before switching again It won't last forever, just remember that!

Babywearing is when you wear your baby in a wrap or sling. You can check it out at wrapyourbaby.com. It's great! (I'm babywearing in my profile pic)
I hope that helps.
