baby burrowing head

AimmeeJo

My 6 week old baby wants to burrow her head when she is sleeping.  If I am holding her its in my arm or against a couch cushion.  So when I try to put her down in her bassinet she will scream and thrash about trying to find something to bury her head in.  I will put a blanket against her head til she is asleep and then move it, but this means I'm getting no sleep.  I don't want to leave the blanket there b/c it could/would be a suffocation risk as she slams her face into it.  Anyone else experience this?  What did you do?  Any suggestions?  I'm sure she feels safe and comforted from this b/c its like being in the womb but I'm losing my sanity.  TIA!
