Early morning wake up call

My 4-month-old puppy has gotten so much better sleeping in her crate. After one last bathroom trip, I put her in around 11pm and she crashes out nicely. She always wakes us up at about 4:30-5am for a morning bathroom trip. We try to put her back in her crate after, but she whines and cries nonstop to be let out bc she missed us all night. My bf usually will get up and sit with her in the living room when this happens. This makes him grumpy all day and asleep by 8pm. I feel it is also teaching her to keep doing her behavior. Neither of us can stand listening to her dramatic cries and whines if we leave her in the crate. Any suggestions for what to do?
