Duct fluid after only two days?? Or is it cause for concern?

I am 100% new to this journey. And I’m so excited! I just started pumping with my Elvie stride yesterday. I did two sessions of 30 minutes just to start… one in the morning and one at night. I noticed lymph fluid (?) or sweat around the nipple after pumping both times yesterday…not exactly sure what it is… assumed it was sweat, though I wasn’t hot or warm at all…

Now, today, I did my third official session of pumping this morning and after wiping the nipple and the shallow interior of the pump, the liquid came up pale yellow. Is that duct fluid already? Just want to make sure it’s not cause for concern/that it’s normal.

Second day of pumping: duct fluid?

I just started using my Elvie pump yesterday. I did two sessions of 30 minutes yesterday because it felt really good. One in the morning and one in the evening before bed. Then today I did my official third pumping session. 25 minutes on each breast. Yesterday I noticed lymph fluid(?) or sweat around my nipples after pumping… and today they did the same thing but when I went to wipe the fluid from my right breast with a cotton pad, the fluid was pale yellow…. It was also more than yesterday. Could that be the start of duct clearing already??
