EBF FTM pumping questions

Hi Ladies, 

Yesterday I started pumping the opposite breast that my 2-week old nurses as a way to keep up my supply and start storing. I'm getting anywhere from .5 oz to 1 oz each session, usually about 15 minutes. Is this considered within being a normal amount? Also, I've noticed when I pump that the milk comes out in only 1-2 droplets at a time. Does that mean my ducts are clogged or something? TIA for any feedback!

All normal for a 2 week old.

Honestly, I'd put away the pump until after a month unless you're going back to work at 6 weeks. It's more trouble than it's worth, and it tends to stress new moms out.
