Hi Alice, I apologize for the delay in answering your question! If you're ever in need of an immediate response, please don't hesitate to contact our Baker's Hotline at 855-371-2253. We're here M-F from 9am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST, and you can also contact us via chat. I doubt you did any harm to your starter if you fed it on day two, but it's fine to feed only once a day until your starter begins to rise predictably (more than once). Once the yeast kicks in it will benefit from more frequent feedings, so be sure to begin twice a day feedings at that point. If you're feeding only once a day at the beginning, try to give your starter a thorough stir at least once a day. Disrupting the surface of the starter can help prevent mold from developing when the starter is still in the creation stage, and less resistant than a mature starter to such contaminants. 

I hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.
