I don't have CIO advice - however does your DC like vibration, nature sounds, heartbeat?? They sell this thing that attaches to the side of the crib and a piece that you can put under the mattress, and it is noise (cry) activated.

My DD loves this - and so do I.

She's always made it through the night in her crib - the vibration and noise soothes her right to sleep, or back to sleep for that matter.

I'm no expert but I would suggest putting him down awake how he likes to sleep with some music or white noise. And when he cries during the night, don't take him out. That is what worked for us. DS cried 2x/night for 2 nights and then has slept through the night since 4 1/2 months old.
