3 week old only sleeps on my chest - help!

Brooke

My 3 week old little boy won’t sleep unless he is laying on my chest. As soon as I try to put him down he wakes up and isn’t happy. I don’t pick him up he will scream continuously. If I pick him up, he falls back to sleep so I know he isn’t waking due to hunger and I’m guessing it’s more for comfort. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I have barely slept because I can’t put him down and I’m worried I’ll fall asleep holding him.
