My baby has acid reflux and has not been feeding well- he either cries at the breast or falls asleep. He is mostly feeding for less than 5min and feeding infrequently. As such, he end up drinking only the foremilk and I noticed his poo is now green. FTM, so maybe my question may sound silly, but can I express out the foremilk until the milk is noticeable less watery/more 'white' before letting him latch to increase the chances of him drinking the hindmilk?

Hi mummy, I did the same by throwing away the watery part when I pump out to let my lo consumed the hindmilk. But it was't helping much though because the he vommitted out too. Try burp him halfway then continue feed again. If after burp, put him upright or prop up for awhile before letting him lie down. I can only say it will get better as they grow older. Hang on there mummy.
