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?

I believe you can do that by pumping put the foremost first and let baby latch and consume the hindmilk. It's better to get some milk in rather than nothing. Like what Grace has mentioned, try to burp baby frequently and let him latch again. You can get a wedge pillow and prop him up.
