....on and off all day long.
He has a bit of eczema on his face (going to the Dr tomorrow) but that doesn't really seem to be bothering him. He is getting his two bottom front teeth but they have already broken through the gum so wouldn't imagine that is bugging him too much. He is sleeping well. Have started him on solids a few weeks back, and am now doing BLW as he wasn't interested in puree. That is about the only time he is quiet - eating!
Could it be the food irritating his tummy? But he was grizzling this morning after feeding, and hasn't had solids since 3pm yesterday? Or hunger? Or something else I haven't thought of? According to my hubby he does it less when I'm not there so it is because of me?
I feel like I am a bad mum cause he is so unhappy and I can't figure out why
I know babies grizzle sometimes, but I wouldn't imagine it is normal for it to happen every day for an extended period. I worry

Very sure you're not a bad mum!
Just a thought, could it be he grizzles when you're around because he wants to be close to you? I've recently started babywearing DS in a sling during the day as I do things and he loves it.
Another possibility: sometimes, if we've been home for a few days in a row without going out, DS grizzles and I think it's because he gets bored. Maybe this is why he grizzles less with your DH because he's a change of scene?

I second Katz, if you have a sling use it. Ds is just 7 months and is exactly the same, he'll grizzle if he's not on/near me.
I'm pretty sure its around now they start with the seperation anxiety.
I make sure i keep talking if I leave his sight otherwise he get very upset

As far as i know separation anxiety is usually 7-9mths but who ever has a textbook baby?
I think when you go to the doctor, get them to check his throat ears, lungs etc. just to check everything is ok.

the sleep store has a good article on separation anxiety.
he could have more teeth coming through, if pamol fixes the grizzles then it could be teeth or might pay to get his ears checked.
also he could be tired? or hungry? if he is going through a growth spurt he may want or need more milk. all you can do is go through the check list really... make sube bum is clean, hes not too hot or cold and offer a boob or bottle and cuddles and bed...

It's worth getting his ears and throat checked. Cooper was like this the other week after his first two teeth popped up and was still sleeping badly and he had a little bit of a sore throat. Pamol seemed to fix whatever it was almost instantly so either it was the throat or the teeth were still sore. Now a couple of weeks later I can see one of his fangs looks ready to pop through plus the top two beside it probably aren't too far behind.
Same as what KatzWtgn said, I remember one day he was being grizzly so we went for a stroll to the park and he sat checking out the scenery for ages and was happy as anything, so most likely bored. Usually I just put him in the sling too and that seems to perk him up, so maybe a combination of everything!

I'd agree with the boredom thing. My wee girl is a social butterfly. She'll grizzle when she gets bored, if I take her somewhere with lots of people and stuff happening she perks up straight away.
