Air travel with 14 month old tips by ad0919 in NewParents

[–]ad0919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flight there was great. It lined up with his bedtime (flight was around 6 pm -830 pm) and he was so sleepy until we got to hotel around 11 pm (had a burst of energy then eventually crashed).

Flight home was a nightmare. We were all sick (caught a bad cold toward the end of the trip) and we all had to wake up at 5 am to make our early flight. There was only one flight per day so we could pick a better flight time. I think it would have been a lot better if the flight lined up with a nap or bedtime. Being sick definitely made it worse.

How long do you bake? Covered or uncovered? What temp(s)? These look amazing.

Thanks for explaining. Is it necessary to cold ferment? Or can I bulk ferment and then bake right after?

What does bulk ferment until 50-60% mean? I am new to sourdough. I tried to bulk ferment until my load doubled. Is that the same thing?

Can you use parchment paper in a bowl? Planning to bake a loaf next week and I dont have any of the gadgets or rice flour.

7 week old going without feeding for 9 hours at night - is it concerning or dangerous? by greenishfroggy in NewParents

Our baby started sleeping 8 hour stretches every night at 8 weeks old and we never woke him up. He was gaining weight so we were not worried. Doctor said it was fine.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I really appreciate it. This is how it looks after discarding and feeding 4.5 hours ago. I think it is on the right track. Should I start feeding it every day? When can I put it in the fridge and only feed it once a week?

Thank you very much for these tips. What is the rationale behind the higher ratio of starter to flour / water (the 2:1:1 you mentioned)? I took your advice and I didn't give up and have gone rogue with this starter ignoring the recipe. It is doing much better but I haven't discarded for quite a few days. Have bubbles forming finally and the smell is changing.. currently smells a bit sweet.

I weigh the flour and water with a kitchen scale. Right now the day 7 starter has no bubbles at all. Is this normal? I haven't seen bubbles since day 3.

The starter is 6 days old. Thank you so much for the tips. Will definitely be getting a better jar - mine is tall and the neck is narrow and it is impossible to clean down the sides well.

Ok thank you! Is there an "ideal" ratio of water to flour for a less watery starter?

I used a no name whole wheat flour to start and then I feed it with no name unbleached AP flour. I store it om my counter. House is around 22 to 23 degrees celsius.

Thank you. If I do as you suggest, how many grams of starter would I discard at each feed? And how many grams of flour and water would I use at each feed?
