If you want to wean him from breast feeding for whatever reason please first bring him to formula milk which is meant for 6 months old baby.
This foamy poop is more likely due to infection rather than lactose intolerance. I hope you will appreciate that more babies become sick due to infection rather than lactose intolerance.
