at what point...?

should I start letting my 3 week old try to soothe himself? Not exactly the CIO method, but exaclty how long is okay for me to let him cry before picking him up? My mom tells me I'm spoiling him by constantly holding him, but it breaks my heart to let him just sit there and cry. However, I really don't want it to be a problem when I'm finally ready to put him in his own room. What are you guys doing about this?
