Waking 2-3 times per night is still developmentally normal for most babies around one year old. At this age, wakings are usually caused by: separation anxiety (waking because their parent is gone), excitement from new walking skills that lighten sleep, teething discomfort, or still needing one nighttime feeding.
What matters is how quickly your baby falls back asleep after waking. If they nurse or feed for a short while and drift off within 5-10 minutes, there's nothing to worry about. If wake time is stretching, crying becomes hard to soothe, or there's daytime fussiness, it's worth checking with your pediatrician.
It also helps to track total daytime sleep — around one year old, 2-3 hours of daytime naps is considered normal without affecting nighttime sleep.
