Crying baby?

Recently a few people have lectured me for being a "wimp" and not letting my 3 month old cry. Their reasoning is that I pick him up too soon which will make him unable to self-sooth and dependent. But in my mind, at 14 weeks he's still learning who he can trust and not trust. But now I worry that I may be too quick to respond. Of course there are times I let him cry a little (3-5 minutes max) but should I let him go longer? I like attachment parenting ideas because I think it is vital for children to know their needs will be met and that they are loved. But I don't want to coddle my baby. Please tell me I'm not messing stuff up...
