Hi, I'm Worried Because I Accidentally Fell Asleep Feeding My

Hi, I'm worried because I accidentally fell asleep feeding my 11 week old laying down, in my bed, laying down, with the electric blanket on. I'm so worried because I woke up to him really really sweaty and hot. I took him straight out from under the covers and tried to feed him, thinking fluids will help. But he wouldn't feed just slept. He started getting really cold after a while. So I put him to his bed with one blanket only, but he still feels cold. I'm so worried because I know overheating causes sids. And I don't know whether to put more blankets over him to make him warmer. He is wearing a bonds bodysuit as well, but where we are it is freezing in the house at night and usually use 4 blankets. Should I be persisting in waking him up to feed him? Have I done the right thing? Should I be worried? I am SO worried and can't go back to sleep!
