Once your baby hits the six-month mark, it's time to begin the process of transitioning from the bottle to a sippy cup. The number of options available when it comes to finding the perfect drinking vessel for your little one are enough to overwhelm any mama, so we've taken some of the guesswork out of the process.

I agree LilSugar! The transition is seamless with the Born Free bottles and cups. I didn't understand what all of the fuss about the brand was but I'm a diehard fan now. :)

Absolutely second the Tommee Tippee! We have tried every sippy out there, and finally found the Tommee Tippee. It is easy to get water out of and it doesn't leak! My little one, who has shown no interest in using a sippy cup, took to it immediately and loves it.

Born Free.... 100% No leaks and I love their training cups. Not to mention their bottles were a favorite since day one!

The Tommee Tippee sippy cups were a godsend. My baby was completely breastfed and never took a bottle - but at 6 months we decided to introduce a sippy cup to her for water - and after buying one of every sippy cup at Babies R Us as we tried them all out - she finally took one and it was the Tommee Tippee cup. She used their sippy cup for 6 months and now we're using the one with the straw. I love them - they're easy to use and clean - and they're the only ones my little princess takes. One of my favorite features of the sippy cup was the cover for the mouth piece - my little one, even at a young age - figured out how to cover her sippy cup mouth piece when she wasn't drinking from her cup! Sooo cute!!

My son has only ever used the Nuby sippy cups with the straw, He just never got the hang of the hard-spouted ones, which turns out is a good thing because his speech therapist told us that they are bad for tongue placement or something. We still use the straw cups, but are starting our son on regular cups now.

I love Nuby sippy cups and those are the ones I transitioned my son with since they have so many nipple/spout options. The pursuit for the perfect sippy can take a while and you might need to buy a few different kinds before finding the perfect one. My son will use any sippy with a straw so it's just about finding the one that leaks the least.

I swear by the BornFree cup. If you start with their bottles, the transition is seamless. My older son moved to the sippy at 4 months and my lil guy at 6 months. LOVE IT!
