Luckily mine will settle in the swing after she falls asleep on me. I know what you mean though about it being to hot. Its 86 degrees here overnight and 100+ during the day.

Mine wakes up as soon as i put her down...

My son has to fall asleep in my arms too. If I even want to chance putting him down I need to wait at least 20 minutes or so to make sure that he is sleeping deeply or he is instantly wide awake. We have had a lot of very sweaty naps together though because if he is feeling particularly fussy I won't chance waking him by putting him down. I feel your pain lol...sometimes I ache too but having a recliner that I use to lay back in has been a blessing.

If you both dress cooly and make sure you have plenty of ventilation and moving air as well as skin to skin contact, you should be fine. So make sure baby is right against your skin, rather than putting anything between you, as your skin will regulate her temperature to cool her (and you). If it's so hot, you're both still really uncomfortable, then I'd try to get somewhere cooler to prevent overheating, somewhere with ac, or a fan, or better ventilation. Babies are meant to sleep on their mummies, even when it's really hot, the key is just making sure you dress appropriately and aren't somewhere too stuffy. A drink with lots of ice next to you while she sleeps will help too.
