Newborn won’t sleep flat?

Just after some advice, my son is 4 days old and hates sleeping flat! We have a Moses basket downstairs for day time naps and a Chico next to me crib in our bedroom for night time. He’ll last at most half an hour then just wakes up screaming! He’ll happily sleep on us or in his swing (in the day obviously I wouldn’t do that at night) but I don’t know what to do to help him sleep.

Yesterday I thought he might’ve had trapped wind or constipation as he hadn’t pooped and kept pulling his legs up but today he seems better and is already awake after half hour of sleeping! I can’t have another night sat up on the couch with him!

Any suggestions?
