I'm having some issues with my 5 week old's sleep and I'm hoping you guys can help! The past few weeks at night I've let DS sleep on my chest instead of putting him back in his rock n play...either he's being noisy and I don't want to disturb my husband since he has to work in the morning or I'm too tired to wait for him to fall back asleep after feeding him so I just let him stay asleep on me. Now, whenever I put him down (asleep) in the rock n play, he wakes up within an hour and fusses, and he won't go back to sleep without being on me.

I'm getting sleep this way, but not good sleep, and I'm getting big headaches from my head flopping from one side to another (I'm partially propped up with pillows) and from grinding my teeth (not usually an issue when I sleep). I also don't feel safe sleeping this way.

I'm guessing that the RNP isn't warm like me, and I'm wondering if a hot water bottle filled with warm water laid underneath DS would be a good idea. Any suggestions? Have I totally screwed myself into a baby that will only sleep on me?
