There have been times when Alex refuses to drink from his sippy cup even though I know he's probably thirsty. I don't always think to check the taste of the water in it, but when I do, it usually
does taste funny, which explains his refusal. It occurred to me that maybe the soap on the
valves wasn't completely washing off in the dishwasher, so I started rinsing the stuff in the baskets after the dishwasher stopped running. It seemed to help, but we still had the same problem once in a while. Finally, I switched to the
First Years cups![](https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chieffamilyof-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0009MASHE)
pictured, which have a built-in valve that avoids the soapy-taste problem. Caveat: I've noticed that they sometimes leak, so I'm careful to tighten the lid and keep them vertical when they're in my diaper bag.
