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?

Is your baby falling asleep while breastfeeding? Like the mummy above has suggested, you can try tickling your baby to keep him awake in order to get a proper feed in. I think to address the reflux issue, you need to make sure you baby is burped properly after a feed. Burping a baby can be tricky and not all methods work for every baby. So try a different method each time and see what works for your baby.
