Dear Patricia and all,
Green stools, sore nipples, gassy baby, "feeding all the time", plenty wet
nappies.

Put all these symptoms together I would be thinking that due to sore nipples
this baby is not able to reach the hindmilk.   Talk about positioning and
bringing baby to breast at optimum height of gape, where are her fingers (out
of the way, I hope) etc., etc., and

Mum may be taking baby off herself too early because (1) she is sore and (2)
because she thinks he has finished feeding "properly" (using 'properly' is my
interpretation of what she may be thinking) because his earlier more rhythmic
mouth movements have ceased.   Now that he is drawing down the stickier rich
fatty hindmilk along the ducts his mouth movements are not rhythmic, they are
disjointed, his mouth quivers sometimes, there are longer spaces between mouth
movements and swallows, and he looks to her not as "awake and getting on with
the feed" as he was at the beginning of the feed, he looks as though he is
going to sleep/dreaming.  At this critical point in the feed she may have
taken these visual and sensual clues to misinterpret that her baby is "falling
asleep", "using her as a dummy", "not 'feeding' now", "finished the milk",
"making her sorer" "messing about" and takes him off the breast too early
before he has a chance to finish off his pudding and have that lovely cup of
tea/coffee with a little piece of chocolate!

This baby may be getting lots of foremilk which is rightly so, rich in lactose
but, repeated unbalanced breastfeeds lends to a baby with a brewery going on
in its innards.

Is she swopping baby backwards and forwards from breast to breast at a feed so
that baby gets repeated letdown of foremilk but never has a complete meal?

Hope that some of this helps and that I am not leading you up the wrong garden
path.
