Sleep in Crib or Hold the Baby All Day?

It has been 10 years since my last baby, so maybe I am just not remembering well, but my 2 week old baby sleeps only for 15 minutes in her co-sleeper or crib and then wakes up.

He was sleeping from 8p-4a, eating, and going back to sleep until 7a swaddled. I've tried the sleep positioner swaddled, and he can roll over that. To get him out of the swaddle, I've tried: one arm out, a sleep sack, and both arms out and still swaddled from below the armpit. All of the above mentioned have resulted in him waking up multiple times during the night, and angry. If he's not...
