soothing back to sleep?

she
Hi all, my 13mo old still breastfeeds and has stated finally sleeping better, 8pm to 4 something. Only slept thru the night once so far 8-6. He occasionally wakes up earlier though 11:30 or 1 due to molars coming in. He will usually cry and go crazy until I nurse him whatever time he wakes in the night. How do I soothe him back to sleep without nursing? I try sending in Dad but sometimes he just won't settle. Any suggestions? Or is this something he will grow out of soon?
