Sleep regression?

Erika

So my 19 month old son keeps waking up between 4-5 am every morning, sometimes even earlier. We recently took the bottle away and that’s how we used to get him to go back to sleep. Now that we aren’t doing that anymore we can’t get him to go back to sleep. Any recommendations? He doesn’t like being rocked. And what’s driving me crazy is that my husband keeps taking him out of the crib to watch tv so he doesn’t have to hear him cry. Which is just teaching our son that that’s the time he should be waking up. Help?

**I should add that he has never been a pacifier baby. He’s been allllll about that bottle life, so this week is life changing for him. But today is day 4 and he’s been doing so well! (Day 1 and 2 were HORRIBLE).
