How many holes should a 10-month-old baby's bottle nipple have?

For a 10-month-old baby, the most common recommendation is a medium flow (M) or 3-hole bottle nipple. By this age, babies typically suck faster and have better control of liquids, so slow flow (S / 1 hole) often requires too much effort and can lead to insufficient milk intake.
Fast flow (L / 4+ holes) can increase the risk of aspiration, especially when drinking water. The best approach is to watch how comfortably your baby drinks and check the manufacturer's age recommendations. If the nipple flows too quickly or your baby seems to choke, move down one hole size; if they're struggling and getting frustrated, try a larger hole size.
