Cry it out shouldn't be attempted until a baby is at least 4 months old, but later is better. Your baby is only 6 weeks old, if you want to sleep with him in your bed, do it. I co-slept with my kids and loved it. They slept better and it was easier to handle nighttime feedings since we woke up together instead of me waking up to their crying through the monitor. 

I'm not a big fan of the cry it out method to begin with. Babies get scared and can feel abandoned if they are made to sleep in a crib by themselves.
