Baby needs something against cheek to sleep?

Baby suddenly needs blanket or something against her face before she will settle to sleep. I mean, it’s bad. She will scream like crazy. She’s 8 weeks. She likes cuddles with me and will smuggle her whole face practically in my arm pit but can’t fall asleep easy when I hold her. She only wants the blanket in her crib while she goes down for bedtime. I keep it there until I g to bed. But what do you guys do for babies who need to snuggle something against their faces? Ideas? She’s only 8 weeks so I doubt a lovey is safer? Idk. The blanket is loose knit so it’s holey. Any ideas appreciated.
