To be pissed off with dp

Had a baby a few weeks ago. Dp constantly tells me not to lie down with the baby in case I fall asleep. Gets really angry if I even say that I'm tired. Tells me to put the baby down. He's convinced I will fall asleep with her and potentially kill her.
I'm sick of it. I understand the worry, I do get it and the last thing I would do is put her in danger.
But this is 30 times a day. I'm not exaggerating. I'm sick of hearing it. I'm sick of feeling like a shit mum over something that hasn't happened and will never happen. I feel like he doesn't trust me with her and it makes me feel worthless.
He has just gone back to work now and every text and phone call he says the same thing.
So Aibu to let it annoy me or does everyone get this from their partner??
I feel like ripping my bloody hair out after I read his texts or speak to him and I can't even ignore it because if I did he would think I had bloody fallen asleep

Im laid on the bed with mine now and it's fine. Granted im awake and playing on my phone but honestly it does really help them to fall asleep.
Unfortunately for me it's now the only way he will.go to sleep during the day without a fight so it's awkward if I try on the sofa.
I will add though that I have napped with him at the same time and it's fine, but I do try not to as I use the time to write or watch Netflix on my phone

Have you told him hes making you feel like a shit mum by constantly repeating? Give him the HVs phone number

He’s suffering from anxiety. The way he’s behaving is classic. Believe me, I’ve been there. He will feel as though his head’s full of wasps. It’s no reflection on you, it’s part of his wider concerns. Try to get him to a GP.
