DAYS 8–13 — Steady Daily Feeding
DAYS 8–13 — Steady Daily Feeding
Repeat the Day 7 feeding once a day, same time each day.
What you should observe over this stretch:
- Reliable rise after each feed (often doubling)
- Pleasant tangy-yeasty smell (not vinegary, not nail-polish-remover)
- A network of bubbles visible through the glass
- A "domed" top that eventually deflates before the next feed
If your starter smells like acetone or alcohol, it's overhungry — feed it sooner or feed twice that day.
