Oh gosh, I feel your pain.  I had a second one coming and my older son was still waking up at night.  He was younger than yours.  My doctor told me to try the Furber method.  There is a book by that name written by the doctor.  I did it just as the book described with my older son.  It's a bit rough for about a week and then he was honestly good to go!  They do spend time crying in their room.  :>(  But hey, it worked to get him sleeping through the night.  Basically he wanted comfort.  Little ones don't acquire the skills they need to self soothe and fall back to sleep so they look to us to do it unless we force them to get these skills.

My second son was a bit of a nightmare and did not sleep through the night until 16 weeks when he just did it all on his own.  I'd tried everything with him and he would slam his head on the rails of his bed, make himself throw up, big dramatics and scream bloody murder for hours.  But out of nowhere, he slept through the night and became the best sleeper ever!!  

So, check out the book the Furber Method or google search it.  At 19 months, make sure you are tiring him out during the day too.  Lots of activity and exercise.  Then a nice soothing bedtime routine.  Let me know how it goes!
