Having tried in the past with little success to start a starter, I have been pleasantly surprised and excited to follow Jill Winger's recipe and have things progress well for the first several days. No bubbles after the first day so I waited another 24 hours and was delighted to see some so I fed it and all was well. Next day I still have bubbles, feed it and the size doubles which is great right? Then after a few hours it shrinks down to original size. Next day a few bubbles but no response to the feeding this time. Same with today. What is happening? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
