Cry It Out Method

My son is 12 weeks and has trouble with napping on his own without being held during the day. My Doctor suggested the cry it out method. Is he too young for this? And how did you do this if you've tried it. She said to start with 5 minutes of crying and work your way up to 20. I can hardly last 5 minutes. After 5 minutes I go in and try to calm him without picking him up, but he just screams. It's so hard. I've only tried it one day. Please share your experiences. Thanks~
