Can't put baby down! Is this normal?

It wasn't like this with my first, maybe I was just lucky.

I have a 7 week old and I can't put him down. He pretty much cries if he's not at the breast. Falls asleep there and if I try to put him down he wakes up within seconds and cries. Won't be swaddled. He sleeps well at night only if on his side and co-sleeping and breastfed to sleep in that position (ouch to my back!). He's been like this since birth so I don't think due to growth spurt.

Even his awake time he won't go on a play mat or bouncer without fussing and crying.

Help! I literally can't do anything in the house. I have to let him cry in the bouncer in the bathroom for my 2 min shower.
I can't do anything.

How can I help him be content not on me? Any tips??

Weight gain good, 91st centile baby.

Sounds like my bf baby. She’s 18mons and still the same btw 😭😂. The only relief I got was when my sister would take her and snuggle her.
