Hi Valerie, are you feeding twice a day, or only once a day? How warm is your house this time of year? It sounds like your starter is just a bit sluggish, but it's a good sign that it is rising routinely after a feeding, even if it isn't doubling. I suspect adding a small percentage of whole wheat flour (15-25%) as part of your feedings for a few days may prove helpful, and if you're only feeding once a day, I would definitely start feeding twice daily. For more help troubleshooting, please don't hesitate to contact our Baker's Hotline at 855-371-BAKE (2253). We're here M-F from 9am-7pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST.
