Baby wakes up as soon as being put down

My baby is 10 weeks old and rarely sleeps during the day. He will stay asleep sometimes if we have been out in the pram but if he falls asleep after a feed (still cant go more than 2 hours between a feed!) I will wait around 15 mins, put him in his basket and then he will wake up instantly! (Tried hot water bottle, tshirt etc)
I am worried he is not getting enough sleep but I don't know what I can do if he just wakes up instantly! I cant rely on taking him for a walk all the time due the weather! He also wont stay asleep at night anymore and it takes several attempts to get him to stay asleep once put down (he wakes around every 2-3 hours and takes around an hour/hour and a half to settle between feeds)
I don't understand how people’s baby have an early bed time!
Starting to feel the effects off a lack of sleep for the past 3 months, waking up with headaches etc... and advice please? X

Best advice I heard is change baby’s nappy before you put him to bed so he is still awake. It does work with some babies and is great when they are toddlers as they have learnt to self settle. Another thing you can do is play lullabies as it helps them fall asleep, you can be in the room so baby knows you are there.

Swaddling and white noise helped for us. He doesn’t go to bed until 8pm though.
