My baby won't sleep

Deb
Ok - my son is 2 months old now. The doctor recommended that he sleep in a rock and play due to his reflux. For the past two months it was working perfectly, now all of a sudden he refuses to sleep at night unless he is laying on my chest. I can fight it during the day but at night I really need my sleep too so I have allowed it the past 3 nights. I just can't get into the habit and need him to not only sleep in the rock and play but in his crib too. Any advice? Oh and if we let him cry he gets so worked up that he breaks out in hives. Help me please!!
